U+6F5F "潟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
潟
U+6F5F "潟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character that primarily denotes a lagoon or a coastal inlet, often specifically referring to a saltwater lagoon or a body of water separated from the sea by a sandbar or barrier. In Japanese, it is commonly used in place names like Niigata (新潟), where it carries the meaning of a "new lagoon" or "new inlet." The character combines the radical for water (氵) on the left with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its etymological link to aquatic geographical features. Its usage spans traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean texts, though it is less common in modern everyday writing outside of proper nouns.
