Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+78FB "磻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to a type of stone used in ancient times as a sinker for a fishing line or as a whetstone. It is also historically associated with the proper name "Pan" in classical texts, most notably in the legend of Jiang Ziya, who fished with a straight hook and a "磻" stone in the Wei River before becoming a key strategist for the Zhou dynasty. This character thus carries connotations of patience, indirect strategy, and the idea of a tool used for sharpening or weighting.
