U+9771 "靱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9771 "靱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) primarily used in Japanese contexts as a variant form of the more common character "靭." It carries the meaning of toughness or flexibility, often referring to something that is resilient, pliable, or strong yet yielding, such as in the word "靱性" (韌性, jinsel), meaning toughness or ductility in materials science. The character is composed of the radical "革" (leather) on the left, indicating a connection to hide or skin, and the phonetic component "刃" (blade) on the right, which hints at its pronunciation. Despite being considered a kyujitai (old character form) in Japanese, it is still encountered in certain specialized texts, names, and historical documents, though it is less common in modern everyday Chinese usage.
