梳
U+68B3 "梳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of a comb or the action of combing, with its strokes depicting a wooden tool used for grooming hair. This logograph, composed of the wood radical and a phonetic component, has been used for millennia in written Chinese to denote both the physical object and the verb for untangling or arranging hair. It appears in classical texts and modern usage across various East Asian languages, including Japanese and Korean, where it may be pronounced differently but retains the same core meaning. The character’s design reflects its practical origins, linking the symbol to everyday life and cultural practices of personal care.
