U+680A "栊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+680A "栊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning a cage or pen, specifically one made of wood for confining domestic animals or birds, or sometimes referring to a window lattice or grating. Its composition combines the tree radical (木) to the left with the phonetic component (龙) on the right, reflecting its semantic association with wooden enclosures. In modern usage, it appears in literary or historical contexts, such as in the term 牢笼 (láolóng) meaning a prison or trap, and it is also found in personal names or place names in Chinese and Japanese Kanji. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, supporting its use across digital platforms for traditional East Asian text.
