U+6A97 "檗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
檗
U+6A97 "檗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to the cork tree, specifically the Amur cork tree (Phellodendron amurense), and its bark, which has been used in East Asian herbal medicine for its anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. The character is composed of the wood radical and a phonetic component, and it also appears in compound words such as "黄檗" (huáng bò), denoting the tree or its medicinal bark extract. In addition to its botanical meaning, "檗" can denote a type of bitter yellow dye derived from the tree's bark and sometimes metaphorically alludes to bitterness or hardship in classical Chinese literature.
