U+6A9B "檛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
檛
U+6A9B "檛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely encountered Chinese character composed of the wood radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, historically used to refer to a whip or a club, often specifically a type of short, heavy stick or a horsewhip. Its usage appears primarily in classical Chinese texts rather than modern language, where it might describe an instrument for beating or driving animals, or metaphorically, to denote forceful control or punishment. The character's pronunciation in Mandarin is roughly "zhuā," but it is obscure enough that many native speakers would not recognize it, making it a notable example of the vast and often archaic repository of CJK unified ideographs.
