Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+596B "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character that primarily signifies the vast, deep, and expansive appearance of water, often used to describe a large body of water like an immense ocean or abyss. It is composed of the radical for "big" or "large" (大) combined with elements suggesting depth or flow, and it appears in classical texts, including the Zhuangzi, where it conveys a sense of boundless magnitude. In modern usage, this character is extremely uncommon and is primarily of interest to scholars of historical Chinese literature, calligraphy, and etymology, lacking a standardized pronunciation in contemporary Mandarin. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures its preservation for digital representation and academic study across global computing systems.
