U+7E2B "縫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
縫
U+7E2B "縫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that also appears in Japanese Kanji and Korean Hanja, primarily meaning "to sew," "stitch," or "seam." It is composed of the radical for silk or thread (糸) on the left, indicating its textile association, and a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation, which is "féng" in Mandarin Chinese and "nui" in Korean. In practical usage, this character is commonly found in contexts related to tailoring, clothing repair, or metaphorical expressions about joining or mending, such as in the Chinese word for "sewing machine" (縫紉機). Its structure and meaning reflect the cultural importance of textile craftsmanship across East Asian societies.
