U+7E7B "繻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7E7B "繻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) historically used in traditional texts, primarily referring to a type of fine, thin silk fabric or gauze, often associated with luxury garments or ceremonial attire in ancient China. Its structure combines the silk radical (糸) on the left, indicating its connection to textiles, with a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation, typically read as "xū" in Mandarin. This character appears in classical literature and historical records, where it denotes not only the material itself but also metaphorically represents something delicate or refined. While less common in modern everyday writing, it is still recognized within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unicode standard as part of the shared repertoire of East Asian logographic characters.
