Unicode Version 17.0
帛
U+5E1B "帛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "silk" or "fabric" and historically referred to a type of valuable cloth or textile, often used as a form of currency or tribute in ancient China. This ideograph is composed of the radical for "white" or "bright" combined with a component associated with cloth or weaving, reflecting its connection to fine, light‑colored silk materials. In modern usage, it appears in words related to silk products, such as "帛书" meaning "silk manuscript," and retains cultural significance in historical and literary contexts, symbolizing wealth, refinement, and the early development of textile arts in East Asia.
