Unicode Version 17.0
軾
U+8EFE "軾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to the crossbar or handrail at the front of a carriage or chariot, which a rider or passenger could grasp for support while standing. In classical texts, it is often used in the context of ancient Chinese etiquette and warfare, where a person might "lean on the shi" as a gesture of respect or to steady themselves. The character is composed of the radical for "cart" or "vehicle" on the left and the phonetic component "式" on the right, and it is occasionally encountered in historical names, literature, and poetry within the broader corpus of traditional Chinese writing.
