U+7E8F "纏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+7E8F "纏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (traditional form, simplified as 缠) that fundamentally means "to wind around," "to twine," "to bind," or "to entangle," often conveying a sense of being encircled or wrapped up in something. In its extended meanings, it can also denote obstruction or annoyance, as in being "tangled up" in difficulties, and is commonly used in words like "纏繞" (to coil or twist) and "糾纏" (to pester or be entangled in a dispute). The character is constructed with the silk radical (糸, thread) on the left, which suggests a connection to threads or binding, and a phonetic component on the right that influences its pronunciation. Historically, it appears in classical texts and remains in active use in both literary and everyday contexts across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean written traditions.
