U+95BB "閻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+95BB "閻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) traditionally used in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese as well as in Japanese Kanji, where it is most commonly associated with the surname Yan or the meaning "gate" or "village gate." Historically, it appears in classic texts such as the Zhou dynasty dictionary "Shuowen Jiezi," which defines it as the space between two gates in a lane or alley, though its modern usage is largely confined to proper names, including the prominent Buddhist figure Yanluo (Yama, the god of the underworld) in the term "閻羅王." The character is composed of the radical for "gate" (門) as its outer enclosure and the phonetic component "臽" inside, reflecting its structural and phonetic origins in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph system.
