Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+965B "陛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji/hanja) that literally means "steps leading to the throne" or "imperial audience." It is most famously used in the compound word 陛下 (bìxià), which serves as a formal and respectful title meaning "His/Her Majesty" or "Your Majesty," akin to addressing a monarch or emperor. The character combines the radical 阝 (a variant of 阜, indicating a mound or elevated terrain) with the phonetic component 坒 (bì), reinforcing its association with ascending stairs to a lofty seat of power. In historical East Asian contexts, it emphasizes both physical and hierarchical elevation, signifying the distance and reverence required when approaching a sovereign.
