U+6AF9 "櫹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6AF9 "櫹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that refers to a type of tall, majestic tree, often identified with the cedar or, in some classical contexts, a specific variety of wood used in ancient times. It is part of the broader CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set, meaning it shares representation across these East Asian scripts with potential differences in pronunciation and usage. In modern Chinese, this character is considered obscure and is not commonly used in everyday writing, appearing instead in historical texts, poetry, or specialized botanical references. Its structure combines the wood radical (木) with a phonetic component, reflecting the typical formation of many traditional Chinese characters that convey meaning through semantic and sound cues.
