Han character 綡

It names a silk fastening for a cap.

綡 names a narrow silk band used to fasten a cap. The classical gloss 冠纚 connects it with 纚, a silk cloth used to wrap hair or form part of a cap; that is a vocabulary link, not proof that the characters are interchangeable or historically descended from one another.

As of 2026-09-11, one dictionary’s graph-history panel credits a pictured example to a brick from the Yuankang era of the Jin dynasty. Its entry also cites 玉篇, a medieval dictionary, and the rhyme dictionaries 廣韻 and 集韻, which group characters by sound. The graph pairs silk/thread component 糸 with phonetic element 京; this is a sound-series link, not the meaning “capital.”

How do I type 綡?

Use Cangjie: 女火卜口火, also written VFYRF.

Enter 女火卜口火 in a Chinese Cangjie input method; its corresponding key sequence is VFYRF. Pinyin uses Latin letters to enter Mandarin, but one dictionary lists a modern reading while its older rhyme entry gives another. Cangjie lets you enter the character by its components instead.

Unicode identifies the character; your font draws its glyph. If 綡 appears as an empty box, that font does not cover it; the encoded character is still 綡.
