椿
U+693F "椿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the chinaberry tree or the toon tree, specifically Toona sinensis, whose young leaves are a popular edible vegetable in East Asian cuisine. In Chinese culture, it also symbolizes longevity and is often associated with the father in phrases like "椿萱" which metaphorically represents parents. Beyond botanical meanings, the character appears in classical literature and personal names, and its radical is the wood radical (木) combined with a phonetic component suggesting spring (春), connecting it to the idea of renewal and seasonal growth.
