U+697E "楾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+697E "楾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that appears in East Asian CJK character sets, primarily used in Japanese as a kanji. This character is composed of the radical for "wood" or "tree" on the left side and the phonetic component "泉" meaning "spring" or "fountain" on the right, giving it a literal meaning of "water flowing from wood" or "a wooden water pipe." In Japanese, it is commonly used to refer to the practice of "hanrei" or a wooden water spout used in gardens and traditional baths, where water is channeled through a hollowed log for aesthetic or functional purposes. The glyph represents a specific concept in Japanese culture and typography, though it is not part of modern standard Chinese usage.
