U+8872 "衲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
衲
U+8872 "衲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that traditionally refers to a type of patched or mended garment, often specifically associated with the robe of a Buddhist monk, leading to its common interpretation as "monk's robe" or "patchwork robe." Composed of the clothing radical on the left and a phonetic component on the right, it can also function as a verb meaning "to patch" or "to mend" in classical and literary Chinese contexts. In modern usage, it appears in terms like "衲衣" (nàyī) for a robe made of patches, symbolizing humility and asceticism in Buddhist tradition, as well as in the surname Nà.
