U+6DDA "淚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
淚
U+6DDA "淚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents the concept of "tear" or "teardrop," composed of the radical for water (氵) on the left and the phonetic component 戾 on the right, reflecting both its meaning and sound. This ideograph is used in written Chinese and Japanese (where it is read as "namida" in Japanese and "lèi" in Mandarin) to denote the salty liquid secreted from the eyes during crying or emotional distress. It belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, which encompasses characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing systems, and appears in classical literature, poetry, and modern texts as a poignant symbol of sorrow or empathy.
