U+7FCE "翎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+7FCE "翎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to a feather, particularly a long, stiff feather used in ancient Chinese ritual headdresses or arrows, or more broadly, plumage or a bird's wing feather. Its composition combines the radical 羽 (meaning feather or wing) with the phonetic component 令, and in classical literature it often appears in terms like 翎毛 (feathers or birds) or 翎子 (the long pheasant tail feathers worn in opera costumes). This character is still used in modern Chinese, including in the names of certain traditional crafts, and it appears in Japanese kanji with similar meanings, though less commonly.
