U+5DDB "巛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
巛
U+5DDB "巛" CJK Unified Ideograph is a Chinese character classified as a radical, often referred to as the "river" radical or "stream" radical (Kangxi radical 47). Historically, this character is an ancient variant of 川 (chuān), which means river or stream, and it retains the pictographic representation of flowing water or a winding watercourse. In modern usage, it is seldom used as an independent character and primarily appears as a component or radical in more complex CJK characters, contributing meanings related to water, flow, or movement. This ideograph is included in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode standard, ensuring its representation across digital systems for East Asian languages.
