U+6919 "椙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6919 "椙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a kanji character primarily used in Japanese, where it is pronounced "sugi" and refers to the Japanese cedar, a type of coniferous tree (Cryptomeria japonica). This character is a variant of the more common character 杉, which also means Japanese cedar, but 椙 is distinguished by its inclusion of the "tree" radical on the left and the "sun" radical 日 on the right, suggesting a visual or semantic emphasis on light or growth. While rarely used in modern standard Chinese, it is recognized in Japanese as a specific, though not exceedingly common, glyph for this iconic tree species.
