U+88DF "裟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of outer garment or robe, most famously the "kasaya," the patchwork monastic robe worn by Buddhist monks in East Asia. Composed of the radical for "clothing" (衣) and a phonetic component, this character holds significant cultural and religious importance in Mahayana Buddhist traditions, symbolizing renunciation and the lineage of the Buddha.
