U+673C "朼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+673C "朼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant form of the character for "compare" or "side by side" (often related to 比), and it can also denote a type of ceremonial spoon or ladle in ancient texts. Its structure combines the wood or tree radical (木) on the left with a phonetic component on the right, and it appears in classical Chinese literature and historical dictionaries rather than in modern everyday usage.
