About

The character 浍 (traditional form 澮) is a phono-semantic compound, combining the semantic water radical 氵 with the phonetic component 会 (會 in traditional form). It fundamentally denotes a water channel used in agriculture, such as an irrigation ditch, drainage trench, or small waterway directing flow between fields. Additionally, 浍 serves as a geographical name, specifically for the Kuai River, which flows through Henan and Anhui provinces.
