楳
U+6973 "楳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally used in East Asian writing systems, particularly in classical and modern Chinese, Japanese, and sometimes Korean contexts. This character is composed of the wood radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, and it generally refers to a type of plum tree or the fruit of the plum, often associated with the more common character "梅" (méi) in Chinese, which also means plum.
