U+5E61 "幡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+5E61 "幡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese and Japanese character that primarily refers to a type of long, narrow flag or banner, often used in religious or ceremonial contexts, such as in Buddhist temples or during festivals. This character is composed of the radical for "cloth" or "silk" (巾) on the left side, indicating its association with textiles, and a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation, which is "fan" in Mandarin and "hata" or "ban" in Japanese. In historical usage, the "幡" could denote a streamer hung from a pole, a votive flag used in rituals, or even a signboard, embodying a sense of vertical display or announcement. Its presence in East Asian classical texts and modern contexts underscores its enduring cultural significance as a symbol of spiritual or celebratory marking.
