U+7D43 "絃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
絃
U+7D43 "絃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally pronounced "xián" in Mandarin, primarily denoting the string of a musical instrument, such as a lute or zither, and by extension, any string or thread. In classical contexts, it can also refer to the concept of a stringed instrument itself or to the tightness or adjustment of strings, often appearing in compound words related to music and sound. This character is composed of the radical for silk or thread on the left side and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its historical connection to fibers and tension.
