U+897E "襾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
襾
U+897E "襾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used as a component or radical in other complex characters, often referred to as the "west" or "cover" radical. Its meaning is associated with covering, containing, or the concept of the west, and it appears in characters like 要 (yào, meaning "to want" or "important") and 覆 (fù, meaning "to cover" or "to overturn"). In traditional Chinese character classification, it is one of the Kangxi radicals numbered 146, and it is distinct from the visually similar but unrelated character 西 (xī, meaning "west"). The character is rarely used independently in modern Chinese but retains significance in character etymology and composition.
