U+6E07 "渇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6E07 "渇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in both Japanese and Chinese writing systems, where it primarily conveys the meaning of "thirst" or "to be thirsty," and by extension can imply a strong desire or longing for something. Its composition combines the water radical (氵) on the left, indicating a connection to liquid or moisture, with the phonetic component "曷" on the right. In Japanese, the character appears in words like "kawaki" (thirst) and "katsu" (as in the verb "to be thirsty"), while in Chinese it is a variant form of the more standard character 渴 (kě), meaning "thirsty." This ideograph is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified block, ensuring consistent encoding across East Asian languages despite minor regional differences in stroke order or usage frequency.
