U+6E90 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing, where it represents the concept of a "source," "origin," or "spring," as in the headwaters of a river or the root cause of something. Its composition combines the water radical (氵) on the left with the phonetic component 原, which also carries a hint of meaning related to "plain" or "origin." In modern usage, it appears in words like 资源 (zīyuán) meaning "resources," 来源 (láiyuán) meaning "source," and 起源 (qǐyuán) meaning "origin," and it is frequently employed in both literal and metaphorical contexts across these languages.
