U+7A62 "穢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
穢
U+7A62 "穢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese kanji and Korean hanja, primarily meaning "dirty," "filthy," "impure," or "defiled," and it carries strong connotations of moral or spiritual pollution rather than just physical dirt. In classical texts, it is often used in Buddhist contexts to describe defilements of the mind or worldly impurities, and in modern usage it can refer to something vulgar or obscene. The character is composed of the radical for grain or rice (禾) on the left, suggesting a connection to agriculture or growth, and a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is "huì."
