U+7ED6 "绖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7ED6 "绖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a specific type of hempen mourning headband or sash traditionally worn in East Asian funerary rites, particularly in ancient China. As a simplified form of its traditional counterpart "絰", it falls under the semantic radical for silk or thread, reflecting its material origin, and is used in classical texts and historical contexts to denote items of mourning dress rather than in modern everyday language. Its encoding in the Unicode standard ensures consistent digital representation and interchange across systems for scholars and users referencing Classical Chinese literature or historical customs.
