U+97AA "鞪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鞪
U+97AA "鞪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character historically used to refer to a kind of leather or hide, often specifically denoting the leather covering of a drum or the leather straps on a carriage. Its composition includes the radical 革 (leather) on the left, indicating its association with animal hide, and a phonetic component on the right that provides clues to its pronunciation, which is typically read as "móu" in modern Mandarin. This character appears in classical texts such as the "Shuowen Jiezi," where it is described in relation to leatherworking and equestrian equipment, though it is seldom used in contemporary Chinese writing.
