Unicode Version 17.0
楫
U+696B "楫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a short oar or paddle used for rowing a boat, often specifically the kind held in the hand to steer or propel a small vessel. Its radical is 木 (wood), reflecting its material origin, and it is categorized as a traditional character distinct from its simplified variant. In classical literature, such as the philosophical text Zhuangzi, this character appears metaphorically to represent guidance or means of reaching a goal, while in contemporary usage it is less common but still recognized in poetic or historical contexts, reinforcing its connection to watercraft and navigation.
