Unicode Version 17.0
繰
U+7E70 "繰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character known as "繰" in Japanese and "qiao" or "sao" in Chinese, primarily associated with the concept of winding, twisting, or reeling thread or silk. In Japanese, it commonly appears in the verb "繰る" (kuru), meaning to wind or to spin, and is also used in compound words related to textile work or repeated actions, such as "繰り返す" (kurikaesu), meaning to repeat. This character belongs to the radical for silk (糸) and has historical roots in traditional East Asian silk production, reflecting the careful handcraft of twisting fibers into usable thread.
