U+680F "栏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+680F "栏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of a railing, fence, or barrier, and it is also commonly used to denote a column or section in a table, a stall in a market, or an enclosure for animals. In modern Chinese, it appears in compound words like "栏杆" meaning handrail or railing, "栏目" referring to a column or category in media or databases, and "存栏" used in agriculture for livestock inventory. The character is composed of the wood radical 木 on the left, reflecting its original association with wooden structures, and the phonetic component 兰 on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation "lan" in Mandarin. As a standardized symbol in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, "栏" is widely employed in East Asian writing systems, particularly for describing physical partitions, organizational divisions, or metaphorical barriers in both everyday and technical contexts.
