U+6A17 "樗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6A17 "樗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the tree of heaven, specifically the Ailanthus altissima, a fast growing deciduous tree native to China and Taiwan often associated with resilience and rapid spread. In classical Chinese literature, the 樗 tree is famously mentioned by the philosopher Zhuangzi as an example of a seemingly useless tree that is left unharmed by woodcutters, thus living out its natural lifespan and embodying the Daoist concept of achieving longevity through apparent uselessness or insignificance. The character also appears in historical texts as a symbol for worthless timber or a metaphor for something of little practical value, while in modern usage it can denote the tree itself or be found in certain place names and surnames.
