U+6898 "梘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

梘

U+6898 "梘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in traditional texts and some regional names, representing a type of tree or wooden implement, often associated with the meaning "a container for water" or "a dipper" in classical contexts. This character appears in historical dictionaries and is occasionally employed in modern usage for surnames or place names, particularly in Cantonese or Hakka communities where it retains cultural significance. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it is encoded for digital representation across East Asian scripts, though it is less common in everyday simplified Chinese writing due to character standardization efforts. Its structure combines the radical for "wood" (木) with a phonetic component, reflecting its logographic nature in conveying both meaning and sound.
