U+6ABE "檾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6ABE "檾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character historically used to refer to a type of plant, specifically the green hemp or ramie, from which fibers are extracted for making textiles and rope. This character appears in classical texts and ancient dictionaries, reflecting its agricultural and industrial significance in pre-modern East Asian societies. Its composition combines the "wood" radical with phonetic and semantic elements that relate to plant fibers and weaving. In modern usage, it is considered an obscure or archaic glyph, rarely employed in everyday writing but preserved in Unicode for scholarly and historical documentation.
