U+74E6 "瓦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
瓦
U+74E6 "瓦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "tile" or "roof tile," often made from baked clay and used in traditional East Asian architecture, and it also conveys broader meanings related to earthenware or pottery. In its extended usage, it can refer to objects or concepts symbolizing fragility or commonness, such as in the idiom "broken tiles." This character is an ideograph of ancient origin, with its visual form historically derived from a pictographic representation of overlapping tiles on a roof. It is used across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, where it may also function as a radical (the "tile radical") in other compound characters related to ceramics or building materials.
