U+51C0 "净" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+51C0 "净" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "clean," "pure," or "net" and is frequently used in the context of cleansing, purification, or net quantity. It appears as a simplified character in modern Chinese, while the traditional form is often written as "淨" (U+6DE8). In compound words, it can denote concepts like "clean water" (净水, jìngshuǐ), "purification" (净化, jìnghuà), or "net profit" (净利, jìnglì). The character is composed of the water radical (氵) on the left, hinting at its original association with washing or cleansing, and the phonetic component 争 (zhēng) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. It is classified under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and is commonly encountered in East Asian writing systems, especially in Chinese and Japanese texts.
