U+690C "椌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

椌

U+690C "椌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to a type of ancient musical instrument, specifically a wooden percussion instrument similar to a wooden box or a soundbox, often described as a kind of drum or a wooden resonator used in traditional Chinese court music. Its meaning is closely tied to the character's components, as it combines the "wood" radical (木) with the phonetic element "空" (kōng), which also conveys the idea of hollowness or emptiness. This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese but appears in classical texts and historical descriptions of ritual instruments.
