U+6AFB "櫻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6AFB "櫻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "cherry" or "cherry blossom," and it is commonly used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In Japanese, it is frequently associated with the word "sakura," representing the iconic cherry blossom that symbolizes beauty, renewal, and the transient nature of life. The character is composed of the wood radical "木" on the left, indicating a tree, and the phonetic component "嬰" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. While its usage has decreased in Simplified Chinese, where it is often replaced by "樱," it remains common in Traditional Chinese and Japanese writing. This ideograph is part of the larger CJK Unified Ideographs block, encompassing characters shared across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts, and it appears in cultural contexts such as poetry, literature, and the names of places or people.
