U+68EC "棬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
棬
U+68EC "棬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically denotes a type of wooden vessel or container, specifically a round basket or bowl used for washing rice or storing grains. It is composed of the radical for "wood" or "tree" (木) on the left side, combined with the phonetic component 卷 (juàn) on the right, which together suggest a curved or coiled wooden object. The character appears in classical Chinese texts, such as the ancient ritual compendium Liji (Book of Rites), where it refers to a vessel used in ceremonial contexts, reflecting its practical and symbolic role in early Chinese material culture.
