Unicode Version 17.0
泔
U+6CD4 "泔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to water used for washing rice or, by extension, the leftover swill or slops from a kitchen, often associated with animal feed. In classical and modern Chinese usage, it can be found as a component in compounds like "泔水" (gān shuǐ), meaning kitchen waste water. The character is composed of the water radical "氵" on the left and the phonetic component "甘" (gān, meaning sweet or willing) on the right, reflecting its semantic and phonetic structure within the logographic writing system.
