U+6DA1 "涡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6DA1 "涡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph that primarily serves as a simplified form of the traditional character 渦, carrying the core meanings of "whirlpool," "eddy," or "swirl." It is composed of the water radical on the left, indicating a relation to liquid or flow, and a phonetic component on the right. In modern usage, it appears in geographic names like the Guō River in Anhui, China, and in common compounds such as 漩涡 (xuánwō), meaning whirlpool or vortex, and 涡轮 (wōlún), which refers to a turbine. The character thus conveys concepts of circular motion or twisting currents in both natural and technical contexts.
