U+6CBD "沽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6CBD "沽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to buy" or "to sell," often in the context of trade or commerce, and can also refer to "to estimate" or "to appraise" in classical usage. Historically, it carries the nuance of short-term, profit-driven transactions, as seen in the idiom "gu ming diao yu" which describes seeking fame or profit through dishonest means. In modern Chinese, it is less commonly used independently but appears in compound words like "gū míng" (to seek reputation) and is also found in place names and personal names. Its structure combines the radical for water (氵) on the left, suggesting a fluid or commercial nature, with the phonetic component "古" on the right, contributing to its pronunciation of "gū" in Mandarin.
