U+6738 "朸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

朸

U+6738 "朸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents the concept of a "plough handle" or the "handle of a plow" in classical texts, reflecting its radical composition of "木" (wood) and the phonetic component "力" (strength or power). This character is historically associated with agricultural tools, symbolizing the physical force applied through a wooden implement for tilling soil, and it appears in older written records rather than in modern everyday usage. Its structure and meaning highlight the connection between manual labor and material culture in East Asian agrarian history, serving as a linguistic artifact of traditional farming practices.
