U+88CA "裊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
裊
U+88CA "裊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hànzì) that traditionally refers to a type of slender, graceful willow tree or the sinuous, gentle swaying of branches in the breeze, often evoking an image of supple elegance in classical literature and poetry. Its composition consists of the radical for "clothing" (衣) combined with a phonetic component, and it is occasionally used in more modern contexts to describe something delicate or fluttering. While not among the most frequently used characters in everyday simplified Chinese, it retains cultural significance in traditional texts, especially in descriptions of natural scenery or refined beauty.
