U+7EDE "绞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7EDE "绞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily conveys meanings related to twisting, winding, or entangling, such as in the act of twisting threads together or the concept of a绞刑 (hanging execution by a noose). It is composed of the radical 纟 (silk) on the left, which associates it with threads or textiles, and the phonetic component 交 (jiāo) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation and also hints at crossing or intertwining. This character is commonly used in modern Chinese in words like 搅拌 (to stir or mix) and 缴获 (to capture or seize), reflecting its semantic extension from physical twisting to abstract concepts of intertwining or coiling. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs, it represents a shared heritage among these East Asian writing systems, though its specific usage and pronunciation may vary by language, such as being pronounced "jiǎo" in Mandarin Chinese.
