U+78DB "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+78DB "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that primarily appears in classical or literary contexts, meaning "steep" or "precipitous," often describing a rugged cliff or mountainous terrain. In modern usage, it is occasionally found in historical texts, place names, or poetic descriptions of landscapes. The character’s structure combines the radical "石" (stone) with a phonetic component "斬" (zan, meaning "to cut" or "behead"), reflecting its semantic link to sharp, rocky formations. Due to its obscurity, it is not commonly used in everyday Chinese writing but remains encoded in Unicode for the preservation of historical and literary works.
