U+6E6E "湮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
湮
U+6E6E "湮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to submerge" or "to drown" and is often used in literary or classical contexts to describe something being overwhelmed by water or falling into oblivion. In modern usage, it appears in words like "湮没" meaning "to be buried in obscurity" or "to vanish without a trace," conveying a sense of being lost to time or forgotten. The character itself combines the water radical on the left, indicating a connection to liquid or flooding, with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its pronunciation as "yān" in Mandarin. It is also seen in historical or poetic texts to evoke imagery of destruction or concealment by water.
