U+77CF "矏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+77CF "矏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character (hanzi) that falls within the CJK Unified Ideographs block. Pronounced roughly as "mian" in Mandarin, its traditional meaning relates to a fine or thin silk fabric, specifically a type of thin gauze or a dense weave, and it appears in classical texts such as the Rites of Zhou or Shuo Wen Jie Zi as a specialist term for a delicate textile. In modern usage, this character is largely obsolete, but it remains encoded in Unicode to support historical and scholarly works, where it represents a precise substance or texture in ancient Chinese material culture, distinct from more common fabric-related characters.
