U+687C "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+687C "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (pronounced qī in Mandarin) that originally referred to the lacquer tree, specifically the sap or varnish obtained from it. In classical texts, it is an older variant of the more common character 漆, sharing the same meaning related to the dark, resinous coating used for woodwork and art. The character itself combines a tree radical (木) with elements suggesting the dripping sap, visually representing its source. While less frequently used in modern simplified Chinese, it still appears in historical writings, calligraphy, and specialized contexts where traditional character forms are preserved.
