U+6C89 "沉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
沉
U+6C89 "沉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to sink," "to submerge," or "heavy" in the sense of weight or depth. In modern usage, it often conveys a sense of something settling downward, such as a ship sinking in water, or metaphorically, a mood becoming gloomy or a person being deeply engrossed in thought. Composed of the water radical (氵) on the left and the phonetic component 冗 (rǒng) on the right, it illustrates the idea of something heavy descending into liquid. Beyond its literal meaning, "沉" appears in common words like 沉默 (chénmò, meaning "silent" or "reticent") and 沉浸 (chénjìn, meaning "to immerse oneself"), reflecting its nuanced role in both physical and emotional contexts.
