U+768B "皋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
皋
U+768B "皋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese kanji character that originally referred to a marsh, low-lying land, or a riverbank, often associated with fields beside water. In classical Chinese literature, it also carries the meaning of “high” or “lofty” in certain contexts, and it appears in place names and personal names. The character is composed of the radical for “white” (白) as a top component and a lower component derived from “water” or “stream,” though its historical usage has shifted from a watery landscape to broader symbolic meanings, including that of a person’s moral elevation or an elevated location.
