CJK Unified Ideograph-7E8A

纊 means fine silk floss or soft wadding for padded winter clothing. Classical Chinese texts use it for tribute silk and warmth, and the Han-dynasty Shuowen Jiezi (121 CE) defines it as loose floss. Japanese keeps a narrower silk-wadding sense read wata.

Text symbol

What 纊 means

Fine silk floss or wadding for warmth. You meet 纊 in dictionaries, classical passages, and textile notes, where it names floss padding, padded clothing, and tribute material — not a feeling or signal.

Chinese glosses broaden it to floss, cotton, and padded clothes, while Japanese keeps the tighter waste-cocoon silk-wadding sense. Treat 絖 as the same word in another form, and 纩 as the simplified form; copy it from the palette above if your font or IME hides it.

Historical and specialist textile vocabulary; in ordinary chat it looks deliberate or archival.

If you mean everyday cotton, do not use 纊.

Why does 纊 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
