U+76BA "皺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+76BA "皺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "wrinkle," "crease," or "fold" in the context of fabric, skin, or paper, and it is also associated with the concept of furrowing one's brow in expressions of worry or concentration. Composed of the radical 皮 (pí, meaning "skin") and the phonetic component 芻 (chú), this character appears in East Asian languages such as Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean, each with similar semantic nuances. In Mandarin it is pronounced "zhòu," in Japanese it is read as "shū" or "shiwa" in the context of wrinkles specifically, and it is used in common terms like 皺紋 (zhòuwén) for "wrinkles" on the face or 皺褶 (zhòuzhě) for "creases" in clothing, highlighting its everyday relevance in describing physical deformations or linings on surfaces.
