U+6CE1 "泡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6CE1 "泡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "bubble" or "foam," and it is often used to describe something puffy, inflated, or effervescent, such as soap bubbles or the froth on beer. In a broader linguistic context, it conveys the idea of something that is transient or insubstantial, like a fleeting bubble. This character is composed of the water radical 氵 on the left, indicating its association with liquids, and the phonetic component 包 (bāo) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. In practical usage, "泡" appears in common words like 泡沫 (pàomò) for "foam" or "bubble" and 泡茶 (pàochá) meaning "to steep tea." Its versatility extends to informal expressions, such as 泡妞 (pàoniū) for "to flirt" or "pick up girls," showcasing how the same ideograph can carry both literal and figurative meanings in modern Chinese communication.
