U+8958 "襘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

襘

U+8958 "襘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that historically referred to a specific type of collar or the edge of a garment, particularly associated with the overlapping front part of traditional Chinese clothing, often linked to ceremonial or formal attire. It appears in classical texts such as the "Shuowen Jiezi," where it is defined as a cross-collared garment or the meeting point of the two front panels, and it sometimes carries the extended meaning of joining or assembling, as suggested by its phonetic component. In modern usage, it is largely obsolete and not part of standard contemporary Chinese or Japanese character sets, making it a subject primarily of interest in the fields of historical linguistics and ancient Chinese costume studies.
