Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+6E23 "渣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "dregs," "residue," or "sediment," often used to describe the solid remains left after extracting liquid, such as in tea leaves or coffee grounds. It also carries a figurative meaning in modern Chinese slang, referring to a person who is despicable, unreliable, or morally corrupt, similar to the English term "scum." The character combines the water radical (氵) on the left, hinting at its original association with liquids, with the phonetic component "查" on the right. In traditional and simplified Chinese, it is written identically as 渣, and it appears across various contexts from cooking and industrial processes to informal criticism of character.
