U+6E38 "游" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
游
U+6E38 "游" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to swim," "to travel," or "to wander," and it is commonly used in East Asian languages such as Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean. This ideograph is composed of a water radical on the left side, indicating its association with water or fluid movement, and a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation. In classical and modern usage, "游" appears in words related to swimming (游泳), tourism or travel (旅游), and in expressions of leisurely wandering or roaming (游戏, meaning a game or play). It also holds historical significance in literature and philosophy, often conveying a sense of freedom and exploration, as seen in Daoist texts like the Zhuangzi.
