U+6C59 "汙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
汙
U+6C59 "汙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "dirty" or "filthy" and is an ancient or variant form of the more common character 污 (wū). Historically, it conveys notions of impurity, defilement, or moral corruption, often used in classical texts to describe physical dirt or metaphorical stain. Its structure combines the water radical (氵) on the left with a phonetic component, and while it is less frequently used in modern simplified Chinese, it remains recognized in traditional scripts and classical literature. This character reflects the evolution of written Chinese and its nuanced expressions of cleanliness and pollution.
