U+6900 "椀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

椀

U+6900 "椀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents a type of bowl or wooden vessel, often specifically a wooden or lacquered bowl used for serving food or drink in East Asian cultures. In modern usage, it is commonly associated with bowls for rice, soup, or tea, and it appears in Japanese as "wan" (as in "chawan" for tea bowl) and in Chinese as "wǎn." The character combines the "wood" radical (木) on the left, indicating its original material, with the phonetic component "宛" on the right, which suggests the pronunciation and a sense of curved or rounded shape. This ideograph reflects the historical craftsmanship of wooden utensils and remains an everyday character in written Chinese and Japanese, often found in contexts related to dining and traditional tableware.
