陸

• Terrestrial: Land, dry land, or high ground (typically defined in opposition to water).
• Military: Land forces/army (specifically when distinguished from naval forces).
• Numeric: The formal ("complex") character for six (六).

Primarily functions as a noun or nominal modifier.

The glyph operates in two distinct registers—numeric and terrestrial. Context is required to distinguish between the numeric value "six" and meanings related to land.

• The complex numeric form was used in administrative, legal, or financial contexts (such as tallies and contracts) to prevent fraud, as its structure is more difficult to alter than that of 六.
• Variants: U+9646 (simplified); U+516D (坴), a semantic variant denoting a mound or elevation; these may be indistinguishable in older scripts.
