U+6E7C "湼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in classical and literary contexts, sometimes functioning as a variant or derivative of the more common character 涅 (niè), which generally relates to the concepts of blackening, dyeing black, or referring to a type of dark pigment or silt. In classical Chinese texts, this character can appear in compounds or place names, though its usage is far less frequent than the standard 涅 in modern language.
