U+7F21 "缡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7F21 "缡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally pronounced "lí" in Mandarin, which refers to a type of silk yarn or thread used in weaving, particularly describing a strand of silk that is twisted or entangled. This character is composed of the radical for silk "纟" on the left, indicating its association with textiles, and the phonetic component "离" on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. In classical Chinese texts, "缡" often appears in the context of bridal attire or ceremonial garments, where it denotes the decorative silk cords or tassels used in ancient rituals and weddings. As a historical character, it is considered a rare or specialized term in modern Chinese, primarily encountered in literary or historical studies rather than everyday language.
