Unicode Version 17.0
洼
U+6D3C "洼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character used in both Chinese and Japanese writing systems, where it primarily denotes a hollow, depression, or low-lying area, often specifically referring to a puddle, pool, or a sunken piece of ground that collects water. In ancient Chinese classics and modern usage, it can also carry the extended meaning of being deep or profound, and it is commonly found in place names and literary descriptions of landscapes. The character is composed of the water radical (氵) on the left, indicating its association with water, and the phonetic component 圭 (guī), which contributes to its pronunciation, typically read as "wā" in Mandarin.
