Unicode Version 18.0

谿
Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+8C3F "谿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes a mountain stream or a valley with a watercourse, often used in classical and literary contexts to evoke a natural, rugged landscape. It is composed of elements suggesting a valley and flowing water, and it appears in historical texts, poetry, and place names, particularly in East Asian cultures. This character is distinct from the more common "溪" (xī) for stream, as "谿" carries an additional connotation of a deep, winding ravine or gorge. In modern usage, it remains a part of the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) character set, though it is less frequently employed in everyday writing compared to its simpler variant.
