U+7EE0 "绠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7EE0 "绠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "rope" or "well rope," specifically the thick cord used to draw water from a well. In classical and modern Chinese, it also carries the extended meaning of a "string" or "cord" and is used in contexts involving pulling or tying. The character is composed of the radical for silk or thread on the left, indicating its association with textiles or fibers, and a phonetic component on the right that provides its pronunciation, which is "gěng" in Mandarin. It appears in various historical and literary texts, often in descriptions of wells and water-drawing equipment, and remains a standard part of the CJK unified ideographs set for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages.
