U+97CA "韊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+97CA "韊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character classified under the radical for "leather" or "hide," typically pronounced as "lán" in Mandarin. Its primary historical meaning refers to a sheath or scabbard for a sword, often specifically a quiver or case for arrows, and it appears in classical Chinese texts such as the "Zhuangzi" or early poetic works where it describes military or ceremonial gear. The character is composed of the radical 革 (leather) and the phonetic component 蘭 (lan), indicating both its material association and sound. Due to its obscurity and complex structure, it is rarely used in modern Chinese and is mainly encountered in specialized lexicons or ancient literature studies.
