U+6E4E "湎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
湎
U+6E4E "湎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "to be addicted to" or "to indulge in," often with a negative connotation related to excessive drinking or debauchery. This character is formed as a phono-semantic compound, combining the water radical (氵) on the left, which hints at its original association with sinking or drowning, and the phonetic component (面) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. While its literal sense can refer to being immersed or sunk in water, its most common usage in modern Chinese is metaphorical, describing a person who is deeply absorbed in or obsessed with something, such as alcohol or sensual pleasures.
