U+6E4F "湏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

湏

U+6E4F "湏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically functions as a variant of the more common character "湏" (often pronounced xū or huì in Mandarin), though its specific meaning and usage can vary. In classical texts, this character sometimes appears as a phonetic component or as a variant form of "湏," which commonly denotes a beard or whiskers, or by extension, a moment or a state of waiting, as seen in the compound "湏臾" (xū yú) meaning "a short while." The glyph combines the water radical (氵) with a phonetic element, reflecting its role in conveying nuanced meanings related to time or facial hair, though in modern standard Chinese it is largely obsolete or limited to specialized historical contexts.
