U+6C3C "氼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6C3C "氼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant form of the more common character 溺, which means to drown or to be immersed in water. Composed of the water radical 氵 on the left and the phonetic component 尼 on the right, 氼 historically appears in classical texts where it denotes sinking or being submerged, often carrying a metaphorical sense of indulgence or addiction. While not standard in modern usage, it remains recognized within certain historical and linguistic contexts, such as in dictionary entries or studies of ancient Chinese script.
