U+896A "襪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
襪
U+896A "襪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it represents the meaning of "socks" or "stockings." This ideograph is composed of the clothing radical 衣 on the left, indicating its association with garments, and a phonetic component on the right that approximates the sound of the character. In modern usage, it appears in texts referring to hosiery, and while it is standard in traditional Chinese writing, simplified Chinese typically uses the character 袜 (U+889C) as an alternative. The character is encoded in the Unicode standard to ensure consistent digital representation across different platforms and languages.
