U+9EBE "麾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
麾
U+9EBE "麾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "to command" or "a standard," often referring to a military banner or flag used to signal troops in ancient warfare. It is composed of the radical "麻" (hemp or flax) and the phonetic component "毛" (hair or fur), reflecting its historical association with woven fabric or fur used for banners. In classical texts, it appears in context of directing armies, as in the phrase "麾下" (beneath one's command), which later evolved into a polite term for addressing a general or leader. The character is still used in modern Chinese, particularly in formal or literary language, and it corresponds to the same meaning in Japanese Kanji as well.
