U+73C8 "珈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+73C8 "珈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically refers to a type of hairpin or ornamental hair ornament, often made of jade or other precious materials, used in ancient China to secure a woman's hair or headdress. Its composition combines the radical for jade or gem (王) with the phonetic component "jia" (加), which suggests both sound and a sense of adding or attaching, reflecting its function as a decorative item added to the hair. Today, the character appears in contexts such as classical literature, historical texts, and in the compound word "瑜伽" (yújiā) meaning yoga, where it serves as a phonetic component due to its similar pronunciation, though its original meaning remains distinct.
