U+7F88 "羈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
羈
U+7F88 "羈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "bridle" or "to restrain," often used in classical and literary contexts to convey the concept of controlling or holding back, as in a horse's reins. Its structure combines the radical for "net" or "web" (罒) with the phonetic component "奇," symbolically linking the idea of entrapment or governance. In modern usage, it appears in terms like "羈絆" (jībàn), meaning "fetters" or "bonds," and it carries cultural weight in East Asian texts as a metaphor for emotional or societal constraints.
