U+7EF5 "绵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7EF5 "绵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes silk floss, softness, or something continuous and unbroken, often used in compounds meaning "cotton," "mild," or "prolonged." In modern usage, it appears in words like 绵羊 (miányáng, "sheep") and 连绵 (liánmián, "continuous"), and its traditional form differs slightly from the simplified version shown here. Structurally, it combines the radical for silk (纟) with a phonetic component, reflecting its historical association with fine textiles and extended softness.
