U+7E6D "繭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+7E6D "繭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram that originates from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean written traditions, where it represents the concept of a cocoon, specifically the silky casing spun by silkworms or other insect larvae. In classical Chinese texts, it carries strong connotations of transformation and protection, as well as the silk industry, and it is often used in compounds such as "破繭" meaning to break out of a cocoon or to emerge from a difficult situation. The character is composed of radical 糸 (silk) which hints at its textile associations, combined with additional components that evoke the image of being enclosed or wrapped. In modern usage, it appears in words for "cocoon" across CJK languages, such as in Japanese "繭" (mayu) and in Korean "견" (gyeon), retaining its literal and metaphorical links to silk production and metamorphosis.
