U+6CA6 "沦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6CA6 "沦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning to sink, fall, be submerged, or degenerate, often used in contexts describing decline or loss, such as in the word "沦陷" (to fall into enemy hands or be occupied). In its etymology, the character combines the water radical 氵 with the phonetic component 仑, reflecting its original sense of ripples or eddies on water, which evolved to imply being overwhelmed or drawn into a downward state. This character is classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is employed in both classical and modern Chinese, Japanese (as リン in kanji), and Korean (as 륜 or 룬 in hanja) scripts, with typical usage in formal writing, historical narratives, and metaphorical expressions of moral or physical descent.
