U+88A8 "袨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
袨
U+88A8 "袨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in classical or literary contexts, meaning fine or elegant clothing, often specifically referring to a type of ceremonial robe or garment worn during ancient rituals and feasts. Its composition combines the radical 衣 (yī, meaning clothing or robe) on the left with a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its semantic category of attire. This character appears in historical Chinese texts and has a traditional reading similar to "xuàn" in Mandarin, though it is not commonly used in modern everyday language. Its encoding in the Unicode Standard ensures that it remains accessible for digital preservation of classical literature and scholarly works.
