U+684E "桎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
桎
U+684E "桎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character composed of the wood radical and a phonetic component, primarily meaning "fetters" or "shackles," specifically the wooden restraints once used on prisoners' feet. In classical Chinese, it appears in the compound "桎梏," which refers to leg and hand manacles, and by extension symbolizes any form of constraint or bondage, both physical and metaphorical. This character is used in modern contexts to convey the idea of being shackled or restricted, often in literary or formal writing.
