楹
U+6979 "楹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a pillar or column in a building, often specifically the main hall pillars in traditional Chinese architecture, and by extension it can denote a chamber or a hall associated with such pillars. It is composed of the wood radical (木) on the left, indicating its material association, and the phonetic component 盈 (yíng) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. In classical literature and historical texts, it appears in contexts describing court buildings, temples, or important family halls, symbolizing structural support and stature.
