Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+9670 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram that represents the concept of "yin" in East Asian philosophy, denoting the dark, passive, or feminine principle in the dualistic system of yin and yang. This character is composed of a left radical meaning "hill" or "mound" and a right component suggesting clouds or shade, collectively conveying a sense of hiddenness, shadow, or the north side of a mountain. In Chinese, Japanese, and Korean usage, it appears in words related to overcast weather, the moon, the underworld, or negative forces, as well as in compound terms for "shade" or "print" in modern contexts. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it serves as a foundational glyph for linguistic expression across multiple languages that share Chinese character heritage.
