U+6E6F "湯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+6E6F "湯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that traditionally means "soup," "broth," "hot water," or "boiling water," and it is also used in Japanese (as "yu" or "tō") and Korean (as "tang") with similar culinary and bathing-related meanings. In its ancient composition, the character combines the water radical (氵) with a phonetic component that evokes the idea of heat or liquid, reflecting its core semantic fields. Beyond the literal sense of a heated liquid food, "湯" commonly appears in East Asian cultural contexts such as "hot spring" (温泉), "soup kitchen," and in Japanese, it refers to a public bath. This character thus encapsulates a rich intersection of everyday sustenance, wellness practices, and linguistic evolution across multiple Asian writing systems.
