棅

U+68C5 "棅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in classical and literary contexts, where it represents a wooden rod or a handle, often specifically referring to the handle of a weapon like a spear or an axe. It is composed of the wood radical on the left and the phonetic component "丙" on the right, reflecting its meaning of a firm, straight piece of wood serving as a grip or shaft. While rare in modern everyday usage, this character can appear in historical texts and specialized terminology related to traditional weapons or tools, and it is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block to ensure proper representation across digital platforms for East Asian languages.
