U+6CA2 "沢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6CA2 "沢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that originated as a simplified variant of the traditional character 澤, which conveys the meaning of a marsh, swamp, or body of water like a lake or pond, as well as concepts of moisture, luster, and beneficence. In modern usage, it is particularly common in Japanese kanji, where it retains these meanings and is also used in place names and personal names, often pronounced "sawa" or "taku" in Japanese and "zé" in Mandarin Chinese. This character visually combines the water radical on the left with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its etymological connection to wet landscapes.
