U+702C "瀬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
瀬
U+702C "瀬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji character primarily used in Japanese and occasionally in Chinese, where it is a variant of the simplified form 濑. This ideograph visually combines the water radical on the left with a phonetic component on the right, and its core meaning relates to a "rapid" or "swift current" in a river, often referring specifically to shallows or rapids where water flows quickly over rocks. In Japanese, it is commonly seen in personal names and place names, such as in the surname "瀬戸" (Seto), and it evokes imagery of natural, flowing water dynamics.
