U+9B08 "鬈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鬈
U+9B08 "鬈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that generally refers to fine, curly, or wavy hair, often used in classical and modern texts to describe hair texture. This ideograph is composed of the radical "髟" meaning hair or long hair, combined with the phonetic component "卷" which can imply curling or rolling. In traditional Chinese culture, the character appears in literary descriptions of hairstyles and occasionally in names, while in modern usage it is less common but still recognized in both simplified and traditional Chinese scripts, as well as in Japanese Kanji and Korean Hanja. Its pronunciation varies across dialects, typically rendered as "quán" in Mandarin with a rising second tone.
