U+6AA8 "檨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
檨
U+6AA8 "檨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character used primarily in the Hokkien and Taiwanese languages, where it refers specifically to the mango fruit or tree. This character combines the wood radical (木) on the left with the phonetic component (猒) on the right, reflecting its botanical association. While not commonly found in standard Mandarin texts, "檨" appears in regional vernacular writings and historical dictionaries, and its usage highlights the diversity of Sinographic characters that encode culturally specific terms not present in the mainstream lexicon.
