U+6729 "朩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

朩

U+6729 "朩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that represents a variant or simplified form of the character "朮" (often pronounced "shù" or "zhú"), which traditionally refers to a type of medicinal herb, specifically the Atractylodes plant, and is also related to the concept of "art" or "method" in some contexts. In modern Chinese, this variant form is largely obsolete, appearing primarily in historical texts or specialized calligraphy, and it features a distinct composition of a wooden radical (木) with a slight stroke variation, emphasizing its connection to the standard character for "technique" or "herb" while being classified under the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographic system used for encoding East Asian scripts.
