U+6CA1 "没" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+6CA1 "没" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "not have," "not," or "to be without," and it is widely used in both Mandarin and other East Asian languages that adopt Chinese characters. In its phonetic role, it is pronounced "méi" in Mandarin when indicating negation or absence, and "mò" when it means "to sink" or "to disappear," as in the word "淹没" (yānmò, to submerge). This character is composed of the water radical 氵 on the left, linked to its meaning of flowing or sinking, and the phonetic component 殳 on the right, which hints at its pronunciation. Its versatility makes it a common and essential element in written Chinese, appearing in everyday expressions like "没有" (méiyǒu, to not have) and in classical contexts related to submersion or death.
