U+68DF "棟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means a ridgepole or a beam, often referring to the main horizontal structural beam in a traditional building, and by extension it can signify a pillar or a key supporting figure in a metaphorical sense. This character is composed of the "wood" radical (木) on the left and the phonetic component "東" (dong) on the right, and it is used in various East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In modern usage, it appears in words like "棟梁" (dōryō in Japanese, dòngliáng in Chinese), meaning a pillar or a leading figure, and it is also employed in building classifications, such as counting individual structures in Japanese with the counter "棟" (mune).
