U+7E40 "繀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7E40 "繀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a noun referring to a small type of shuttle used in weaving, which is a tool that carries the weft thread back and forth across the warp in a loom. In historical and classical Chinese texts, this character appears infrequently, often in the context of textile production or ancient crafts, though it is not a common character in modern everyday usage. It belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encompasses characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing systems, and its structure combines the "silk" radical (糸) on the left with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its semantic association with textiles and threads. Despite its rarity, the character serves as a specific term in the specialized vocabulary of traditional weaving and material culture.
