Definitions

堡

small camp; small mud fortification
fort; fortress
short for 漢堡／汉堡 (hànbǎo, “hamburger”)
雞腿堡／鸡腿堡 ― jītuǐ bǎo ― chicken sandwich

Usage notes

Often used in phono-semantic matchings to translate English and German -burg, or English -burgh, etc.
Some place names or surnames with the component Berg are also translated with 堡, but this is a result of confusion between Burg and Berg, with the latter meaning "mountain" instead of "castle". Nowadays Berg is usually transliterated as 貝格 / 贝格 or 伯格, except in a few examples such as 紐倫堡 / 纽伦堡 (Niǔlúnbǎo, “Nuremberg”), 海德堡 (Hǎidébǎo, “Heidelberg”), and 海森堡 (Hǎisēnbǎo, “Heisenberg”).
