梏
U+688F "梏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of ancient wooden handcuff or manacle used to restrain prisoners, as well as extending metaphorically to mean confinement or restraint. Composed of the wood radical and the phonetic component, this ideograph appears in classical Chinese texts and historical legal contexts, and can also function as a verb meaning to fetter or shackle. In modern Chinese, it is less commonly used in daily language but remains recognizable from literary and historical works.
