Source: Browser Default
U+8888 "袈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in East Asian writing systems, primarily in Chinese and Japanese. It is pronounced "jia" in Mandarin Chinese and "ke" or "ka" in Japanese, and it refers to a kasaya, the traditional patchwork robe worn by Buddhist monks. The character is composed of two main elements: the radical 衣 (clothing) on the bottom, which indicates its relation to garments, and the phonetic component 加 on top, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. This character is most commonly encountered in Buddhist texts and contexts, representing the iconic saffron or brown robes symbolizing monastic vows and renunciation, thus holding cultural and religious significance in East Asian Buddhism.
