U+898A "覊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

覊

U+898A "覊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that traditionally carries the meaning of a bridle or halter for a horse, often extending metaphorically to concepts of restraint or control. This character is a variant of the more common "覊" (ji) and is composed of the radical for roof or covering (亠) combined with elements related to silk and netting, reflecting its historical use in equestrian contexts. In modern usage, it appears infrequently, primarily in classical texts, poetry, or specialized discussions of Chinese calligraphy and historical linguistics, where it retains its nuanced connotations of binding or confinement.
