U+688D "梍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+688D "梍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in classical and modern CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) texts, though it is relatively rare in everyday writing. Its basic composition combines the tree radical (木) with the phonetic component 臼, and its meanings include varieties of trees such as the hackberry or the Chinese scholar tree, as well as a term for a wooden mortar or a container in ancient contexts. In historical Chinese texts, it sometimes appears in names or specific regional vocabulary, and in Japanese it can be found as a kokuji (national character) forming part of certain place names or personal names, such as in the character 梍 which is associated with the Japanese word "kō" meaning a kind of tree bark. Overall, U+688D represents a niche but culturally rooted element of East Asian logographic writing.
