Unicode Version 17.0

腱

U+8171 "腱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a tendon or sinew in the body, specifically the tough fibrous tissue that connects muscle to bone. It is composed of the radical for flesh or body part (月) on the left and a phonetic component (建) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "jiàn." This character is commonly used in medical and anatomical contexts, as well as in terms like "肌腱" (tendon) and related expressions in traditional Chinese medicine and modern biology. It is encoded as part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, which includes characters used in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing systems, and it plays a functional role in describing the structural elements of the human body across these languages.
