茧

U+8327 "茧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "cocoon" and is commonly used in the context of silkworm cultivation, where it refers to the protective casing spun by silkworm larvae. It can also signify a blister or callus on the skin, such as from manual labor, and in a metaphorical sense, it represents a state of being trapped or enclosed, much like a chrysalis.
