U+97A3 "鞣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鞣

U+97A3 "鞣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily denotes the process of tanning or treating leather to make it soft and pliable, often specifically referring to the use of vegetable or chemical agents to cure hides. In modern Chinese, it appears in words like "鞣制" (tanning) and "鞣酸" (tannic acid), and it is also used in Japanese and Korean as a Hanja character with similar meanings related to leatherworking. The character combines the radical for "leather" (革) with the phonetic component "柔" (ròu, meaning soft), visually and etymologically linking the concept of softness to the processing of animal skins. As a standard CJK character, it is encoded for use in digital text and is commonly found in historical or technical contexts involving traditional crafts and chemistry.
