U+97B5 "鞵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+97B5 "鞵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to a type of shoe or footwear, specifically a boot or shoe made of leather or animal hide. It is composed of the radical "革" (leather) on the left and the phonetic component "奚" on the right, reflecting its semantic association with leather goods and its pronunciation in Mandarin as "xié" or "hái" in some historical contexts. This character appears in classical Chinese texts, often denoting sturdy footwear worn for travel or military purposes, and while it is rarely used in modern everyday writing, it remains a recognized component in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set, representing a specific artifact of traditional material culture.
