Unicode Version 17.0
梯
U+68AF "梯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character meaning "ladder" or "stairs," and it also conveys the broader concept of a step or a means of progression. In traditional usage, it appears in words such as "梯子" (tīzi for ladder) and "樓梯" (lóutī for staircase), and is composed of the radical 木 (mù, meaning tree or wood) on the left, indicating its material origin, and the phonetic component 弟 (dì) on the right. This character is common in both simplified and traditional Chinese scripts, and it is also used in Japanese (as a Jōyō kanji) and Korean (as a hanja), where it similarly denotes physical or metaphorical steps or a sequential ascent.
