U+6AC6 "櫆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

櫆

U+6AC6 "櫆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily refers to the name of a celestial body or star, specifically associated with the Big Dipper in ancient Chinese astronomy, where it denotes the handle of the Dipper or a guiding star. It is composed of the wood radical on the left and the phonetic component "鬼" on the right, and its usage appears in classical texts and literature, often carrying connotations of leadership, direction, or auspicious guidance. In modern contexts, the character is largely obscure and not part of common vocabulary, making it more relevant for scholarly study of historical Chinese cosmology and philology.
