U+6C12 "氒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6C12 "氒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) used in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) contexts, classified under the radical for "water" or "flood" (氵/水) with a total of 6 strokes. Its primary meaning is associated with a type of wooden vessel or container, historically used in ancient texts such as the Shuowen Jiezi where it is defined as a kind of wooden basin or bucket. In modern usage, this character is extremely rare and is typically found only in specialized philological, historical, or classical literature studies, and it may also be used as a variant form of the more common character "氶," though its pronunciation differs (often read as "zuó" or "zhá" in Mandarin). The character is encoded in the Unicode standard to ensure accurate representation and digital preservation of this obscure but culturally significant glyph.
