U+97BD "鞽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鞽
U+97BD "鞽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant form of the character "鞒" (qiáo), which historically refers to a saddle or a stirrup on a horse's harness. It belongs to the "鞹" radical section of the Kangxi dictionary and is composed of the radical for "leather" (革) on the left and the phonetic component "喬" (qiáo) on the right, indicating both sound and a connection to height or arching shapes. In classical Chinese texts, this character occasionally appears in descriptions of equestrian equipment or as a surname, though its usage is extremely limited in modern standard Mandarin, surviving mainly in specialized lexicons or historical documents.
