U+6778 "杸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
杸
U+6778 "杸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that historically functioned as an ancient weapon, specifically a type of short, staff-like club or a wooden baton used in warfare or corporal punishment. Composed of the wood radical 木 and the phonetic component 殳, it appears in classical texts such as the Shuowen Jiezi, where it is defined as a blunt wooden striking tool. Unlike its visually similar counterpart 杸, which also relates to weapons, this character is considered obsolete in modern Chinese, though it may still be encountered in specialized historical or philological contexts.
