U+6E13 "渓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6E13 "渓" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese as a kanji, primarily meaning "valley" or "mountain stream." It is a variant form of the more common character "溪" (xī in Mandarin), with the radical for water (氵) on the left and the phonetic component "奚" on the right, though the simplified version "渓" replaces the bottom portion with "大." In Japanese, it is often used in place names and compound words like "渓谷" (keikoku, meaning ravine or gorge), and it retains the connotation of a narrow, flowing waterway nestled between hills or mountains.
