U+8891 "袑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

袑

U+8891 "袑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character used primarily in classical texts, where it refers to the lower hem or border of a garment, specifically the part that hangs down, or sometimes denotes a type of sleeve or overskirt in ancient Chinese clothing. Its structure combines the radical 衣 (clothing) on the left, indicating its association with garments, and the phonetic component 召 on the right. This character is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, appearing instead in historical documents or specialized lexicons that discuss traditional attire from earlier dynasties, making it a niche but culturally significant element within the Unicode repertoire for representing ancient written forms.
