U+68C2 "棂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
棂
U+68C2 "棂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a wooden lattice or a window grille, often used in traditional East Asian architecture for windows, doors, or screens. Its meaning is closely tied to the concept of a carved or framed wooden structure, and it is composed of the "wood" radical (木) combined with phonetic and semantic elements that convey its specific function. In modern usage, it appears in terms related to building or furniture components, such as in the word "窗棂" (chuāng líng), meaning a window lattice. The character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideograph block in the Unicode standard, which enables its consistent representation across digital platforms and languages.
