U+6DF9 "淹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
淹
U+6DF9 "淹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that carries the core meaning of "to flood," "to submerge," or "to drown," and by extension, it can refer to being immersed or overwhelmed, as well as a state of delay or procrastination. Structurally, it is composed of the water radical (氵) on the left, indicating its association with water, and the phonetic component 奄 on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation (yān in Mandarin). This character appears in classical and modern Chinese texts, often in contexts involving natural disasters like floods, or metaphorically in phrases describing deep immersion in study or emotion to the point of stagnation.
