U+8F17 "輗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
輗
U+8F17 "輗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character traditionally used to denote a specific part of an ancient horse-drawn carriage, namely the crossbar or yoke at the front of the cart where the reins were attached to control the horses. With origins in classical Chinese texts such as the "Zhuangzi" and historical records of early Chinese chariotry, the character belongs to the radical for "carriage" (車) and is composed of 15 strokes, reflecting its specialized role in describing the mechanical and functional components of pre-modern Chinese transportation. Its usage today is largely limited to scholarly discussions of ancient Chinese technology or in the context of historical linguistics.
