U+6EC5 "滅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese and Korean, typically meaning "to destroy," "to extinguish," or "to perish." It is composed of the water radical (氵) on the left, suggesting the element of water or fluidity, and a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation as "mie" in Mandarin and "metsu" or "horobu" in Japanese. In classical texts and modern usage, this character conveys the act of annihilation or the end of something, such as fire being put out or a civilization collapsing, and it is a common component in words like "destruction" (毀滅) and "extinction" (滅亡).
