What 柟 means
It names a fragrant hardwood, not wood in general.
It names nanmu, an evergreen prized for fine-grained building timber, not lumber in general.
As of 2026, the trail runs from the Shuowen form 枏 to later records of 柟 and 楠. Meaning stays botanical while spelling shifts; Korean Hanja keeps its inherited reading, with no separate modern sense established here.
柟 vs 楠: same tree?
Yes — the forms name the same tree.
柟 uses 冉 on the right; 楠 uses 南. In the 2024 Taiwan Ministry of Education revision, 楠 is standard and 柟 alternate.
枏 is the older dictionary form.
Specialist or historical character; no built-in chat emotion.
Do not read it as wood in general.

1Why does 柟 show as a box on some devices?
Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
