U+6AE8 "櫨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
櫨
U+6AE8 "櫨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to the Japanese sumac or wax tree, scientifically known as *Rhus succedanea*, from which a vegetable wax is derived. In classical Chinese contexts, it can also denote the crossbeam or architrave of a wooden structure, such as in architectural terminology for a supporting pillar or bracket. The character is composed of the wood radical 木 on the left, indicating its association with trees or wooden objects, and the phonetic component 盧 on the right, which guides pronunciation. It is used in East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, often appearing in historical texts or specialized botanical and architectural references.
