U+6DEB "淫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
淫
U+6DEB "淫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically conveys meanings related to excess, licentiousness, lewdness, or obscenity, and also carries connotations of flooding or soaking due to its radical meaning "water." In classical and modern Chinese literature, it is used in words describing immoral or lascivious behavior, such as 淫穢 (obscene) or 荒淫 (dissolute). Additionally, it appears in more neutral or concrete contexts like 淫雨 (incessant rain), linking its watery radical to the idea of prolonged or excessive wetness. This dual usage reflects how the character bridges metaphorical moral degeneration with literal physical excess, making it a nuanced symbol in written Chinese.
