U+88E9 "裩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+88E9 "裩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in classical and literary contexts, primarily meaning "underpants" or "drawers," referring to a type of traditional lower-body garment. It is composed of the radical 衤 (clothing) on the left, indicating its association with garments, and the phonetic component 昆 (kūn) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. While not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, the character appears in historical texts and regional vocabulary, particularly in older or dialectal forms where it denotes a specific style of short or close-fitting trousers worn as underclothing. In Unicode, this character belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is encoded for digital representation of such traditional Sinographic writing.
