U+6897 "梗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "stem," "stalk," or "thorn," and by extension can refer to an obstacle or a block, as in the word "梗塞" meaning a blockage or infarction. In modern colloquial Chinese, especially in online slang, it has taken on the additional meaning of a "meme" or a "gag" often used in comedic or internet culture contexts, deriving from the term "梗" to describe a recurring joke or reference that circulates in digital communities.
