U+6BE8 "毨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+6BE8 "毨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily carries the meaning of "fine, soft fur" or "downy hair," often referring to the delicate undercoat of animals or feathers. It belongs to the Kangxi radical 82 for "fur" or "wool" (毛) and is composed of that radical along with the phonetic component 先 (xiān), which suggests its pronunciation. While not a frequently used character in modern standard Mandarin, it appears in classical Chinese texts and specialized contexts related to textiles, animal pelage, or traditional descriptions of texture. The character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, which allows for its representation across digital platforms for historical or scholarly purposes.
