U+8956 "襖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8956 "襖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in several East Asian languages, primarily representing the concept of a "kimono" or a "coat" in Chinese and Japanese contexts. In Chinese, the character is pronounced "ǎo" and refers specifically to a lined jacket or a short, padded coat traditionally worn in East Asia. In Japanese, it is pronounced "ao" or "aoi" and serves as a kanji character for "kimono" or "garment," often appearing in compound words related to traditional clothing. The character is composed of the radical for "clothing" (衤) on the left and the phonetic component "奥" (meaning "deep" or "inner") on the right, reflecting its semantic ties to things worn over other garments. Despite its specific cultural associations, the character is relatively uncommon in modern everyday writing, appearing more frequently in historical texts or specialized discussions of traditional dress.
