U+8F2E "輮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
輮
U+8F2E "輮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to a wheel rim or the outer ring of a wheel, as well as the act of bending or shaping wood into a circular form, such as in the making of cartwheels. In classical texts like the Confucian work "Xunzi," it appears in the famous phrase "green comes from blue but is bluer than blue," metaphorically describing how a student may surpass their teacher through diligent shaping and refinement. The character is composed of the radical for "vehicle" (車) on the left, indicating its association with carts or wheels, and the phonetic component 柔 on the right. Today, it is rarely used in modern Chinese and is mostly encountered in historical or literary contexts.
