U+9AF7 "髷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

髷

U+9AF7 "髷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese as a kanji, where it specifically refers to a topknot or a traditional coiled hairstyle worn by men in ancient East Asia, particularly associated with the chonmage style of the samurai and Edo period. In Chinese, its usage is more obscure, generally denoting a tuft of hair or a side curl, and it is constructed with the "hair" radical (髟) on top combined with a phonetic component. This character is rarely used in modern everyday writing but appears in historical texts, classical literature, and discussions of traditional Japanese or Chinese hairstyles, preserving a cultural link to pre-modern grooming practices.
