U+6ED4 "滔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
滔
U+6ED4 "滔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "overflowing" or "torrential," often used to describe the surging, powerful flow of water, such as in the phrase "滔滔不绝" meaning "torrent of words" or "unceasing speech." This character belongs to the Kangxi Radical 85 for water (氵), reflecting its aquatic association, and its overall structure combines the water radical with a phonetic component derived from "tao" to indicate pronunciation. In classical and modern Chinese, "滔" conveys a sense of vast, overwhelming water currents, and it appears in literary works and idioms to express both literal flooding and figurative abundance.
