U+690F "椏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
椏
U+690F "椏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in traditional writing, representing the concept of a fork or branch in a tree, often specifically referring to a branch fork or a tree stump from which new shoots grow. Its radical is "木" (wood), and it is frequently encountered in literary or botanical contexts to describe the branching structure of plants. In modern Mandarin, the character is read as "yā" and appears in compound words like "椏杈" (forked branch) or "枝椏" (twigs and branches), though it is less common in simplified Chinese, where it is often replaced by the variant "丫" in informal usage.
