琮
U+742E "琮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character representing a type of ancient jade artifact, specifically a long, hollow, rectangular or cylindrical ritual object with a square cross-section and a circular bore, often used in Chinese antiquity for ceremonial and burial purposes. This ideograph is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified script, and its pronunciation varies by language, such as "cóng" in Mandarin Chinese. The character is composed of the jade radical (王 or 玉) and the phonetic component "宗", reflecting both its material and its association with ancestral or religious rituals.
