Source: Browser Default
U+968E "階" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "stairs," "step," "rank," or "grade." In classical and modern East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, it conveys the concept of a physical staircase or a hierarchical level, such as a social rank or a stage in a process. The character is composed of the radical for "mound" or "hill" on the left side, suggesting elevation or a physical structure, and a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation, which is "jiē" in Mandarin. It appears frequently in terms related to architecture, social status, and sequential order, making it a versatile and commonly used ideograph across several Asian writing systems.
