Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+9589 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means "to close," "to shut," or "to block," and it is composed of the radical "門" (gate) surrounding the element "才" (talent or ability), symbolically representing the act of closing a gate. This character appears in multiple East Asian languages, including Japanese and Korean, where it carries similar meanings of closure or confinement, and it is commonly used in words related to shutting doors, ending activities, or being secluded. Its structure reflects a common logographic pattern in CJK scripts, where the radical provides semantic context and the inner component offers phonetic or associative cues, making it a standard example of how ideographic writing systems encode meaning through visual composition.
