U+9B18 "鬘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9B18 "鬘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character (hanzi) that historically refers to a garland, wreath, or ornamental string of flowers, often used in Buddhist or classical literary contexts to denote a decorative hair arrangement or a floral necklace. Its structure combines the radical for hair or head, 髟, on top, with the phonetic component 曼 beneath, linking its meaning to something that is long, flowing, or adorned. In modern usage, while rare in everyday Chinese, it appears in specialized religious texts, poetry, and personal names, preserving a sense of elegance and antiquity.
