幟
U+5E5F "幟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means a flag, banner, or streamer, often used in a ceremonial or military context. It is composed of the radical for cloth or silk (巾) on the left, suggesting fabric, and a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is zhì. This character appears in classical and modern texts to describe symbols of identity or leadership, such as regimental flags or temple banners, and it retains its cultural significance in East Asian languages, including Japanese, where it can also denote a banner used in festivals or historical warfare.
