U+51C3 "凃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
凃
U+51C3 "凃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally signifies the action of applying or daubing something, such as paint or mud, but it is also historically used as a variant form of the character "塗" (tú). In modern usage, it appears primarily as a component in proper nouns, including surnames, or in place names within Chinese and Japanese contexts. Its structure combines the radical for water or liquid (氵) with an element suggesting excess or remainder, reflecting its original meanings related to spreading or covering. While less common than its standard counterpart, it remains a recognized part of the CJK unified ideographs block, encoded for representation in digital text.
