U+685E "桞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+685E "桞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is primarily a variant form of the more common character 柳 (liǔ), which means "willow tree." In traditional and simplified Chinese writing, 桞 appears less frequently and is often considered an alternative or nonstandard orthographic variation, retaining the same pronunciation and core meaning of willow. Its composition includes the wood radical (木) on the left, indicating its association with trees, and a modified right component derived from the ancient seal script form. This character may appear in historical texts, calligraphy, or certain regional usages, but it is not widely used in modern standard Chinese.
