U+6E98 "溘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6E98 "溘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily conveys the meanings related to suddenness, pressing urgency, or the act of coming to an end, often specifically associated with death or the ceasing of life. In classical and modern Chinese, it appears in compound words like "溘逝" (kè shì), which means to pass away suddenly or to die abruptly, and "溘然" (kè rán), an adverb describing something that happens all at once or unexpectedly. The character's radical is the water radical (氵), suggesting a possible original connection to the flow of water that parallels the idea of an abrupt, final departure. As a member of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it is used in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean contexts, though it is relatively uncommon in everyday conversation outside of literary, historical, or formal eulogistic writing.
