U+68B6 "梶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
梶
U+68B6 "梶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in East Asian writing systems, primarily in Japanese and traditional Chinese, where it represents the meaning of "tree branch" or "oar," specifically referring to a limb of a tree or a wooden pole used for rowing a boat. Its structure combines the radical for "wood" (木) on the left with a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation, which is "kaji" in Japanese and "wěi" in Mandarin Chinese. This character is found in literary and historical contexts, often describing nautical equipment or natural elements, and is included in the widely used JIS and Unicode standards to support text representation across digital platforms.
