U+97A4 "鞤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鞤
U+97A4 "鞤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily functions as a component in traditional compound words rather than as a standalone term. Its structure combines the radical for "leather" or "hide" (革) with a phonetic component, and historically it has been associated with meanings related to binding, wrapping, or the action of covering something with leather, often in the context of making or repairing items like saddles or sheaths. In modern standard Chinese, however, this character is extremely obscure and is not employed in everyday writing or speech, appearing mainly in classical texts or specialized historical dictionaries.
