U+9AE4 "髤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
髤
U+9AE4 "髤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically denotes lacquer or varnish, particularly the type used in traditional East Asian decorative arts. It appears in classical texts related to lacquerware, where it can refer to both the sap-based coating itself and the process of applying it to wood or other surfaces. This character is built from a radical for hair or fur, suggesting its ancient connection to the use of animal hair brushes in applying the substance. While not common in modern standard Chinese, it is occasionally encountered in historical or specialized contexts concerning lacquer craftsmanship.
