U+704F "灏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+704F "灏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character primarily used in classical literary contexts, where it conveys the meaning of vastness or expansiveness, especially in relation to water, such as a great river or wide sea. It is composed of the radical for water (氵) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its ties to ancient poetry and prose where it describes scenes of immense natural scale. In modern usage, this character is not commonly employed in everyday writing but can occasionally be found in personal names or artistic works seeking a classical or evocative quality. It appears in the Unicode Standard as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which preserves thousands of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean logograms for digital text encoding.
