U+9AFA "髺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

髺

U+9AFA "髺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character that traditionally refers to a type of ancient hairstyle or the act of binding up the hair, often associated with coming-of-age ceremonies or mourning rites in classical texts. Its structure combines the radical for hair or bone (髟) with a phonetic component, and it appears in historical dictionaries such as the Kangxi Zidian, though it is not used in modern standard Chinese or Japanese writing. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, “髺” represents a graphical and semantic artifact of East Asian script heritage, primarily of interest to linguists, historians, and digital typography scholars.
