U+6FE4 "濤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
濤
U+6FE4 "濤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents a “big wave” or “billow,” commonly used in classical poetry and literature to evoke the image of surging ocean swells or powerful water currents. Its simplified counterpart, “涛” (U+6D9B), shares the same meaning and is widely used in modern written Chinese. The character is composed of the water radical (氵) on the left and the phonetic component “寿” (shòu) on the right, linking its visual form to both natural phenomena and sound symbolism. In East Asian languages, including Japanese and Korean, it retains similar meanings and appears in names, place names, and idiomatic expressions related to vast or tumultuous bodies of water.
