U+6EDD "滝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6EDD "滝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an East Asian logogram primarily used in Japanese, where it represents the concept of a waterfall, often specifically a rapid or cascading one. It is a variant form of the Chinese character 瀧 (lóng, shuāng), which also means waterfall or rushing water, but in Japanese the simplified glyph 滝 became standardized while the traditional Chinese character retains the more complex structure. This character falls under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block, and its composition includes the water radical (氵) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its semantic meaning of water in motion. In modern usage, it appears in place names, family names, and common words such as 滝壺 (takitsubo, meaning "plunge pool" or "waterfall basin").
