U+6C3E "氾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

氾

U+6C3E "氾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically functions as a variant or alternative form of the more common character "泛" (fàn), which broadly means "to float," "to spread," or "to be extensive." However, "氾" carries specific historical and contextual nuances. In classical Chinese texts, it often appears in the name "氾水" (Fàn Shuǐ), referring to a specific ancient river in China, or is used as a surname. Additionally, in some older or specialized contexts, it can mean "to overflow" or "to inundate," relating to the radical for water (氵, the three-dot water radical) combined with the phonetic component "己." While "氾" is less common in modern standard Mandarin, it remains a recognized character in the Unicode standard for encoding historical or variant characters in digital text.
