U+7DEF "緯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
緯
U+7DEF "緯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "weft" in weaving, referring to the horizontal threads that cross the vertical warp threads to create fabric. Beyond its literal textile sense, it also conveys the idea of latitude, as in lines of latitude on a globe, and by extension, can signify a plan, outline, or the broader context or logic of something in classical Chinese texts. This character is composed of the radical for silk or thread on the left side, indicating its weaving origins, and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its pronunciation in Mandarin as "wei3".
