U+6E09 "渉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+6E09 "渉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) and Japanese kanji that primarily conveys the meaning of "ford," "crossing," or "to wade through water." It is composed of the water radical (氵) on the left, indicating its aquatic association, and the phonetic component 歩 (bu, meaning "step" or "walk") on the right, which suggests the action of moving through a shallow body of water. In modern usage, this character appears in terms such as 交渉 (kōshō) in Japanese, meaning "negotiation" or "dealings," where the sense of crossing or navigating between parties is metaphorically extended. It is a common character in both Chinese and Japanese writing, distinct from the similar character 涉 (with three strokes on the right) due to a variant form in Japanese shinjitai simplification.
