U+689C "梜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+689C "梜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of chopstick or a wooden clip, historically used in East Asian contexts for grasping or clamping objects, such as eating utensils or tools for handling hot items. It also appears in classical texts with broader meanings related to wood or splinters, and its structure combines the "wood" radical (木) with a phonetic component. In modern usage, it is less common than its simplified or alternative forms, but it remains part of the standard CJK repertoire for representing traditional vocabulary in writing and digital text.
