U+68DC "棜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
棜
U+68DC "棜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) used in historical and classical texts, where it primarily denotes a type of wooden vessel or tray, often associated with ancient ceremonial or sacrificial practices. Its composition combines the “wood” radical (木) with a phonetic component, and its precise usage appears in literary references, such as in the “Rites of Zhou” (Zhouli), where it describes a shallow container for offerings or food. In modern contexts, this character is largely obsolete and rarely found in everyday writing, though it retains significance for scholars studying classical Chinese literature and material culture.
