U+6AF4 "櫴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6AF4 "櫴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) block, traditionally classified as a variant or corruption of other characters, most notably related to the concept of "bad" or "evil" and potentially associated with the character "癩" (lài) meaning leprosy or scabies. In classical Chinese texts, its usage is obscure and primarily appears in historical dictionaries or specialized transcriptions, where it denotes a state of decay or moral depravity, though it lacks common modern usage in standard Mandarin, Japanese, or Korean scripts. The character is composed of the "tree" radical (木) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its morphological structure as a logograph within the vast CJK repertoire.
