Unicode Version 17.0
轈
U+8F48 "轈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Hanzi character primarily used in classical Chinese texts rather than modern standard Mandarin. Its radical is 車 (vehicle, cart), and it has a total of 18 strokes, with the phonetic component 巢 (nest) contributing to its pronunciation, which is read as chao in some historical or regional dialects. The character 轈 is often interpreted as referring to a kind of military chariot or a vehicle associated with siege warfare, though its exact meaning can vary across ancient lexicons and is not commonly found in contemporary usage. Due to its obscurity, it may not be supported by all fonts or digital encoding systems.
