U+8F6D "轭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
轭
U+8F6D "轭" CJK Unified Ideograph is a Chinese character (Hànzì) that primarily refers to a yoke, specifically a wooden harness used to couple a pair of oxen or other draft animals to a plow or cart. In ancient China, it also carried a broader metaphorical meaning of a burden or constraint, often used in Classical Chinese texts to describe being yoked to duty or oppression. The character is composed of the radical 车 (che, meaning "vehicle" or "cart") on the left, and the phonetic component 厄 (e, meaning "difficulty") on the right, reflecting both its agricultural and symbolic usage. Today, it is used in modern Chinese in compound words for mechanical yokes or figurative expressions of restraint.
