U+978E "鞎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+978E "鞎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character from the Kangxi radical 177 (革, meaning "leather" or "hide"), with an additional component on the left or right that typically suggests a phonetic or semantic modification. Its exact meaning is obscure and primarily attested in historical or classical Chinese texts, where it may refer to a specific type of leather item, such as a part of a harness or a decorative leather piece, though modern dictionaries often list it as an archaic or variant form without a clear, common usage in contemporary language.
