U+68D5 "棕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
棕
U+68D5 "棕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "palm tree" or "brown," as it commonly refers to the coir or fiber from the palm tree used for making items like ropes and mats, and by extension describes the brown color of this material. It is composed of the "tree" radical (木) on the left side, indicating a woody plant, and the phonetic component "宗" (zōng) on the right, which hints at its pronunciation and can also relate to ancestry or gathering. In modern Chinese, "棕" appears in words such as "棕榈" (zōnglǘ, meaning palm tree), "棕色" (zōngsè, meaning brown), and "棕熊" (zōngxióng, meaning brown bear), and it is mainly employed in everyday contexts involving colors, plants, and fibrous materials.
