U+6954 "楔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

楔

U+6954 "楔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character widely used in East Asian scripts, primarily meaning "wedge" or something that is driven into a narrow space to split, tighten, or secure objects. It is composed of the radical for "wood" (木) on the left, indicating its association with wooden tools or materials, and a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation in Mandarin as "xiē." Beyond its literal sense of a wedge-shaped object, the character appears in technical contexts such as mechanics or engineering, as well as in metaphorical expressions for inserting or forcing something into a position, making it a practical and historically rooted ideograph in the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified repertoire.
