U+97B8 "鞸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+97B8 "鞸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that appears in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, traditionally used in East Asian writing systems. Its semantic meaning relates to a type of leather or hide that is processed or prepared, often connected to the tanning or finishing of animal skins. Historically, this character has been employed in classical Chinese texts to describe materials used for making leather goods, such as belts or armor, and it belongs to the group of radicals associated with leather (革) and its derivatives.
