U+6E76 "湶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6E76 "湶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character composed of the water radical on the left and the component for "spring" or "source" on the right, and it is used in some East Asian writing systems to mean a hot spring or a place where water wells up. This character is relatively uncommon in modern Chinese, but it appears in historical texts and place names, particularly in Japan where it is read as "izumi" or "sen" and can refer to a spring of water. Its structure reflects the semantic combination of water and a source, visually representing the concept of water flowing from the ground. The character is part of the larger CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, which encodes characters used in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese languages.
