U+5DDF "巟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
巟
U+5DDF "巟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character that originally appears in classical texts, where it denotes a state of flooding or vast waters, as well as a sense of emptiness or desolation. Its structure combines the radical for "stream" or "river" with phonetic components, though it is now largely obsolete in modern standard Mandarin and is primarily encountered in historical or literary contexts. The character has also been used as a variant form in some archaic inscriptions, and its meaning often carries a connotation of wildness or untamed natural force, reflecting its early association with catastrophic floods in Chinese mythology.
