U+5E20 "帠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

帠

U+5E20 "帠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that is composed of the radical for "cloth" or "towel" (巾) combined with a phonetic component derived from the character for "self" or "oneself" (自). This character is not commonly found in modern standard Chinese, Japanese, or Korean usage and appears primarily in classical or specialized texts, where it may carry meanings related to clothing, covering, or other abstract associations from its components. In historical dictionaries like the Kangxi Dictionary, it is listed with limited definitions, often referring to a type of fabric or a piece of cloth used in ceremonial contexts, but its precise meaning can be ambiguous due to its obscurity. As a reserved code point in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents a piece of the vast and ancient repertoire of East Asian written symbols, many of which remain seldom used today.
