U+97D8 "韘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
韘
U+97D8 "韘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that originally referred to an archery thumb ring made of bone or jade, worn to protect the thumb while drawing a bowstring. In classical texts, it also carries the extended meaning of a sheath or covering for the hand. The character is composed of the radical "革" (leather) and the phonetic component "枼," reflecting its leather association. It appears in ancient Chinese literature, including the "Shijing" (Book of Songs), and has been largely replaced in modern usage by simpler characters, though it remains of interest in historical and linguistic studies of Chinese archery and material culture.
