U+7E04 "縄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7E04 "縄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese kanji usage, where it is primarily read as "nawa" or "jō" and means "rope" or "cord." In modern Japanese, it is a simplified form of the traditional character 繩, often used to refer to twisted strands of fiber or material used for binding or tying. While its core meaning remains consistent across Sinitic languages, in Japanese it is notably associated with cultural terms like "shibari" (the art of rope binding) and appears in common words such as "nawa" (rope) and "jō" (a measure of length). Its structural composition includes the radical for silk or thread (糸) on the left, reflecting its textile and tying associations, and it is encoded as a standardized character in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of the Unicode standard.
