U+6CE2 "波" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
波
U+6CE2 "波" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "wave" or "ripple," commonly used in East Asian languages including Japanese and Korean. It is composed of the water radical on the left and the phonetic component "皮" on the right, reflecting its connection to fluid movement and undulation. This character appears in a wide range of contexts, from natural phenomena like "海波" (ocean waves) to abstract concepts such as "波長" (wavelength) or "波動" (fluctuation), and it also features in technical terms like "電波" (radio wave). Its visual form and meaning have remained consistent across centuries of written Chinese, making it a fundamental element in expressing ideas of motion, spread, or oscillation.
