U+979F "鞟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+979F "鞟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to the skin or hide of an animal, specifically tanned or soft leather, and it carries the extended meaning of something supple or pliable derived from leatherworking. It is composed of the radical 革 (gé), meaning leather or hide, combined with other phonetic or semantic components, and appears in classical Chinese texts related to crafts, materials, or descriptions of texture. While rarely used in modern everyday writing, it remains a part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block, preserving its historical association with leather goods and the cultural significance of hide processing in East Asian civilization.
