U+6CA7 "沧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
沧
U+6CA7 "沧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that combines the water radical on the left with the phonetic component "仓" on the right, meaning "dark blue" or "cold," and is most commonly used in the word "沧海" (cāng hǎi), which translates to "the deep blue sea" or "vast ocean." This character appears in classical and modern Chinese literature to evoke a sense of immense, deep waters, as famously found in the idiom "沧海桑田" (cāng hǎi sāng tián), meaning "the seas change into mulberry fields," representing great transformations over time.
