U+6E7C "湼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6E7C "湼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in classical and literary contexts, sometimes functioning as a variant or derivative of the more common character 涅 (niè), which generally relates to the concepts of blackening, dyeing black, or referring to a type of dark pigment or silt. In classical Chinese texts, this character can appear in compounds or place names, though its usage is far less frequent than the standard 涅 in modern language. It belongs to the system of East Asian ideographs unified under the Unicode Standard, allowing for consistent digital representation across scripts like Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, though its specific application varies by region.
