U+6CEF "泯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

泯

U+6CEF "泯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "to die out," "to vanish," "to destroy," or "to obliterate," often carrying the connotation of something being extinguished or lost without a trace. In classical and modern Chinese, it appears in compound words like "泯滅" (mǐnmiè, meaning to annihilate or erase) and "良心未泯" (liángxīn wèi mǐn, meaning one's conscience has not yet died out). The character belongs to the Kangxi radical 85 for water (氵) combined with the phonetic component 民 (mín), reflecting its composition as a phono-semantic compound. In the Unicode standard, it is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, aligning with common usage in Traditional and Simplified Chinese, as well as in Japanese and Korean Hanja.
