U+6E4D "湍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
湍
U+6E4D "湍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character pronounced tuān in Mandarin, and it primarily denotes the concept of a rapid, swift current in a river or stream. It commonly appears in compounds such as 湍流 (tuānliú), meaning turbulent flow or rapids, and 湍急 (tuānjí), describing water that is rushing and swift. The character is formed as a phono-semantic compound, with the water radical 氵 on the left suggesting its association with water, and the phonetic component 耑 (duān) on the right contributing to its pronunciation. This ideograph is used in both classical and modern Chinese to convey the physical force of fast moving water as well as metaphorically to indicate speed or urgency.
