Unicode Version 17.0
椁
U+6901 "椁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the outer coffin used in ancient Chinese burial practices, specifically an outer wooden enclosure that encases the inner coffin of a deceased person. This term is deeply rooted in traditional funerary customs, symbolizing the layered protection and honor afforded to the dead in classical Chinese culture. The character itself is composed of the wood radical on the left, reflecting its wooden construction, and a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation, which is typically read as "guǒ" in Mandarin.
