U+6831 "栱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6831 "栱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily functions as a noun, referring to a type of arch or curved beam used in traditional East Asian architecture, specifically the wooden bracket or corbel that supports the roof eaves. It is composed of the wood radical (木) on the left and the phonetic component 共 on the right, reflecting its semantic connection to timber construction. In modern Chinese, the character is less commonly used in everyday language but appears in historical texts and architectural terminology, where it denotes structural elements of ancient buildings, such as in the term "斗栱" (dougong), the interlocking wooden brackets characteristic of traditional Chinese architecture. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is gǒng, with a third tone.
