軷

U+8EF7 "軷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an ancient Chinese character that renders a specific meaning related to ancient rituals, particularly a ceremony performed when setting out on a journey. In classical texts, it refers to the act of sacrificing to the gods of the road or the spirit of the path, often to seek safe passage and blessings for travel. The character is composed of the radical for "cart" or "vehicle" on the left, indicating its association with travel and transportation, while the right component contributes to its phonetic and semantic value.
