U+7EAC "纬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
纬
U+7EAC "纬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "weft" or "woof," referring to the horizontal threads in weaving, in contrast to the vertical warp threads. In a broader linguistic and cultural context, it also conveys notions of latitude (as in lines of latitude on a map) and, by extension, arrangement or planning, appearing in terms like "经纬度" for coordinates. This ideograph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified block and is commonly used in modern standard Chinese, where its radical is usually the silk radical "纟," reflecting its original association with textiles.
