U+691B "椛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
椛
U+691B "椛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare kanji used primarily in Japanese, where it combines the radical for "tree" or "wood" (木) with the phonetic component meaning "flower" (花). This character, read as "hananoki" or "momiji" in some contexts, specifically refers to a tree with colorful autumn leaves, often associated with the Japanese maple or other trees that display striking red or orange foliage in fall. It appears in place names, personal names, and poetic language, but is seldom encountered in common modern usage, making it a culturally specific ideogram largely absent from standard Chinese or Korean texts.
