U+8F6B "轫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
轫
U+8F6B "轫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily means "brake" or "to stop a vehicle," often used in the context of ancient chariots or carts. It is composed of the radical 车 (chē), meaning "vehicle" or "car," and the phonetic component 刃 (rèn), meaning "blade" or "edge," indicating its pronunciation and semantic link to halting motion. In modern usage, this character appears in words like 轫始 (rènshǐ), meaning "beginning" or "initiation," though it is less common than its classical applications. The character's structure reflects the historical importance of braking systems in early Chinese transportation, and it is classified under the Kangxi radical 159 for vehicles.
