Unicode Version 17.0

U+5DFB "巻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese and Japanese character that typically represents the concepts of a scroll, a volume, to roll up, or to turn. It is used in East Asian languages to denote a reel or spool of film or paper, as well as metaphorical extensions like a chapter or tome of a book, stemming from the ancient practice of writing on rolled-up scrolls. In Japanese, it is also a counter for scrolls or books, and its radical components involve an enveloping frame over a bent or kneeling figure, symbolizing the act of coiling or enclosing.
