U+6F06 "漆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6F06 "漆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji in Japanese, hanja in Korean) that primarily means "lacquer," "varnish," or "paint," and historically refers to the sap of the lacquer tree (Toxicodendron vernicifluum), which has been used for thousands of years in East Asia as a durable and decorative coating for wood, furniture, and art. It belongs to the Kangxi radical for water (氵) and has a complex structure that evokes the dripping or liquid nature of the material itself in its original ideographic form. The character appears in terms like "漆器" (lacquerware) and "漆黒" (jet black, literally "lacquer black"), reflecting its cultural importance in traditional crafts, particularly in Chinese and Japanese decorative arts. In modern usage, it also refers to synthetic paints and coatings, though its deep historical associations with luxury, preservation, and meticulous artistry remain central to its meaning.
