U+89FD "觽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
觽
U+89FD "觽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that originally refers to an ancient type of horn or ivory tool, often used as a pendant or a fastener for untying knots, similar to a bodkin or a stylus. This character is composed of the radical for "horn" (角) and the phonetic component "巂," and it appears in classical texts such as the Shuowen Jiezi, where it is described as an implement carried by elites or ritual practitioners. In modern usage, it is rarely employed except in historical or scholarly contexts, and it may also be associated with the mythological "Yu the Great" in certain inscriptions, reflecting its deep roots in early Chinese material culture and writing.
