U+976B "靫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+976B "靫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) with historical and literary significance, primarily used in classical texts rather than modern everyday language. Its traditional meaning refers to a quiver or case for holding arrows, often made of leather, and it can also denote a container or vessel for storing utensils or valuables. The character is composed of the radical 革 (gé, meaning "leather") on the left, indicating its material association, and the phonetic component 叉 (chā) on the right. In Japanese, it is known as "kyūbako" and appears in some historical contexts, while in Chinese, it remains a rare and archaic character, occasionally encountered in poetry or ancient literature describing armory or storage.
