U+6C96 "沖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
沖
U+6C96 "沖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in traditional writing, primarily meaning to rinse, flush, or wash away, often with the implication of water striking or rising, as in the word for brewing tea or rushing surf. It appears in languages such as Japanese, where it can refer to the open sea or an offshore area, and in Korean, where it conveys similar notions of washing or rising water. This ideograph combines the water radical with the middle character, symbolizing movement or action related to water, and is commonly found in place names, personal names, and everyday vocabulary across East Asian contexts.
