U+6C8F "沏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
沏
U+6C8F "沏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb meaning to infuse, brew, or steep, most commonly used in the context of making tea, such as in the phrase "沏茶" which means to brew tea. It consists of the radical for water (氵) on the left, indicating its association with liquids, and the phonetic component "切" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation of "qī" in Mandarin. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block in Unicode and is found in both traditional and simplified Chinese scripts, though its usage is less common in Japanese and Korean.
