U+6AAB "檫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
檫
U+6AAB "檫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) pronounced "chá" in Mandarin and "caat3" in Cantonese. It primarily refers to a type of tree, specifically the Chinese sassafras (Sassafras tzumu), which is a deciduous tree native to China and valued for its lightweight, durable wood used in construction, furniture, and boat building. The character is composed of the wood radical (木) on the left side, indicating its connection to trees, and the phonetic component "蔡" on the right. In modern usage, it appears in botanical texts and regional contexts, but it is not among the most commonly used characters in everyday Chinese writing.
