U+978B "鞋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鞋
U+978B "鞋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the word for "shoe" or "footwear." Composed of the radical 革 (leather, hide) on the left and the phonetic component 圭 on the right, this ideograph is used in written Chinese, Japanese (where it is read as kutsu in native vocabulary), and Korean (where it is read as hye). It appears frequently in everyday contexts such as shopping, fashion, and descriptions of clothing, and it is encoded in Unicode's CJK Unified Ideographs block to support digital text across East Asian languages.
