U+6968 "楨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
楨
U+6968 "楨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally refers to a hardwood tree, often specifically the Chinese wingnut or a type of evergreen oak, and by extension symbolizes strength and stability in classical texts. In ancient Chinese culture, it was used metaphorically to denote a pillar or a foundational support, both literally for construction and figuratively for a reliable person or the mainstay of a family or state. This character is also a component in the term 楨幹 (zhēngàn), meaning "framework" or "backbone," underscoring its semantic association with structural integrity. Its modern usage is less common but may appear in historical or literary contexts, as well as in some personal names.
