Unicode Version 17.0

襹

U+8979 "襹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character found in historical texts, primarily used as a type of ceremonial or decorative garment in ancient China. Its composition combines the clothing radical "衤" with the phonetic component "麗" (meaning "beautiful" or "elegant"), reflecting its association with ornate attire, often described in classical literature as a long, flowing robe or a feather-adorned garment worn during rituals. This character appears in the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is defined as a kind of finely patterned or layered clothing, and it is occasionally referenced in studies of traditional Chinese costume and etymology for its intricate structure and specialized usage in pre-modern writing.
