棨
U+68E8 "棨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to a type of wooden tally or a certificate of authority, often used as a pass or a seal of office in ancient China. This character is composed of the wood radical on the left and the phonetic component "啟" on the right, and it appears in classical texts and documents related to government administration and military commands. In modern usage, it remains a relatively rare character, primarily encountered in historical or literary contexts rather than in everyday language.
