U+6FB1 "澱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+6FB1 "澱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) historically used in both traditional Chinese and Japanese writing, where it primarily denotes sediment, dregs, or the process of settling and depositing as in a liquid becoming still. Its meaning is closely tied to concepts of precipitation and accumulation, often appearing in contexts such as "淀む" (todomu) in Japanese, meaning to stagnate or become muddy, and in Chinese compounds like "沉澱" (chéndiàn) for sedimentation. The character is composed of the water radical 氵 on the left side, indicating its association with liquids, alongside a phonetic and semantic component on the right that contributes to its overall sense of stillness and residue. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block in Unicode, ensuring its consistent encoding across systems that support East Asian text.
