Character Story & Explanation
嶞 (duò) is a rare Chinese character meaning 'mountain peak' or 'summit'. It consists of 山 (mountain) and 隋 (suí, an ancient state or dynasty), suggesting a towering, isolated peak. Unlike common words like 峰 (fēng), 嶞 emphasizes a singular, majestic peak rising abruptly from the landscape, akin to the Matterhorn in the Alps. It appears in classical texts but is seldom used in modern Chinese.
