U+9AF8 "髸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
髸
U+9AF8 "髸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical for "hair" or "bristle" (髟), typically associated with hair-related meanings. Its precise definition has become obscure in modern usage, but historical records suggest it may refer to a specific type of hair texture, style, or possibly a ceremonial headdress, reflecting its composition of the radical combined with phonetic or semantic components. This character is not commonly found in contemporary texts and is primarily of interest to scholars of classical Chinese literature, paleography, or the historical study of East Asian scripts, where it appears in ancient or specialized vocabulary.
