U+89FF "觿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that historically refers to a type of ancient ivory or horn tool, often shaped like a pointed awl or wedge, used primarily for untying knots or as a personal ornament in traditional Chinese culture. This character is composed of the radical 角 (horn) and the phonetic component 巂, and it appears in classical texts such as the "Shuowen Jiezi" dictionary, where it is described as a practical implement. In modern usage, "觿" is considered obsolete in everyday language but is occasionally encountered in scholarly discussions of ancient artifacts, calligraphy, or historical literature, representing a specialized piece of material culture from early Chinese civilization.
