U+6DCA "淊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

淊

U+6DCA "淊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, defined as a water radical (氵) with the phonetic component "臽" (xiàn). This character has multiple readings and meanings, including the Chinese pronunciation "hān" or "yàn," where it can signify the action of "drowning" or "submerging," or in some contexts refer to "to moisten" or "to soak." Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts and dictionaries like the Kangxi Dictionary, though it is considered a rare or obscure character in modern usage. Its structure combines the semantic element for water with a component often associated with traps or pits, reflecting a conceptual link to being engulfed or flooded. As a unified ideograph, it shares the same glyph across East Asian writing systems but may carry slightly variant nuances in Japanese and Korean orthographies.
