U+8978 "襸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8978 "襸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that falls under the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, traditionally used in East Asian writing systems. It is composed of the radical for clothing (衤) on the left and the phonetic component "贊" on the right, and its primary meanings relate to fine, clean, or carefully laundered garments, often implying a sense of purity or meticulous care in washing or dressing. This character appears in Classical Chinese texts and some literary or historical contexts, but it is not commonly used in modern everyday language, making it a subject of interest primarily for scholars of Chinese character etymology, calligraphy, or ancient literature.
