U+6774 "杴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6774 "杴" CJK Unified Ideograph is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a noun meaning "spade" or "shovel," often referring to a specific type of digging tool used in agriculture or construction. Its composition combines the radical 木 (mù, "wood") on the left, indicating its material connection, with the component 欠 (qiàn, "lack" or "yawn") on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation and occasionally suggests an etymological nuance of opening or scooping. Historically, this character appears in classical texts and remains in modern usage, particularly in traditional Chinese contexts for describing implements or in metaphorical expressions related to excavation or deep digging.
