Definition
上端 is a position word (方位词) meaning 'the upper end' or 'top part' of an object, surface, or area. It's used to describe the physical location of something relative to a vertical axis — like the top of a screen, a pole, a document, or a container. Unlike 上面 (which can mean 'on top of' in a broader sense), 上端 specifically refers to the extreme upper boundary or end point.
