U+6A38 "樸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

樸

U+6A38 "樸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys the meanings of "unadorned," "simple," "plain," or "genuine," often associated with the concept of natural simplicity and the uncarved block in Daoist philosophy. In modern usage, it appears in words such as "樸素" (pǔsù) meaning "simple and plain" or "樸實" (pǔshí) meaning "honest and straightforward." The character is composed of the wood radical "木" on the left, indicating a connection to trees or wood, and the phonetic component "菐" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. This ideograph is used in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese contexts, though in simplified form it is often written as "朴," and it retains its core meaning of unaffected authenticity across various East Asian languages.
