Character Story & Explanation
In Guangxi, a local points to a misty mountain range and says, 'That's 岽 (Dōng) Village.' This rare character is used only in place names, like 岽罗 (Dōngluó) or 岽门 (Dōngmén). The radical 山 (mountain) hints at its geography—a place nestled among peaks. You won't hear it in daily talk, but it's a gem for travelers exploring southern China.
