淘
U+6DD8 "淘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of "to wash" or "to rinse," often in the context of sifting or filtering substances like rice or minerals in water. It is commonly used in compound words such as "淘汰" (táo tài), meaning elimination or selection through a process of washing out inferior elements, and "淘气" (táo qì), meaning naughty or mischievous, which metaphorically derives from the idea of churning or stirring up trouble. This character belongs to the Kangxi radical 85 (水 or 氵) for water and carries the phonetic component "匋," reflecting its historical role in describing actions involving water and purification.
