U+68AD "梭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
梭
U+68AD "梭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a shuttle, a key component in weaving used to carry the weft thread back and forth across the warp. In a broader cultural and linguistic context, this ideograph also conveys the meaning of moving swiftly back and forth, like the action of a shuttle, and appears in compound words such as "穿梭" which means to travel back and forth frequently. The character is composed of the wood radical on the left, suggesting its original connection to wooden tools, and a phonetic component on the right. It is widely used in modern Chinese and Japanese writing systems, particularly in contexts related to textiles, machinery, and metaphorical descriptions of swift movement.
