What 绱 means
It joins a shoe upper to its sole. In 绱鞋, it names the step that turns a separate upper and sole into a finished shoe, not stitching in general.
Beijing's old shoe-stitching trade and Sichuan's documented craft keep the sense practical. As of 2026, the sources I could verify show an older 緔 glyph history but no securely dated first gloss for this meaning; the record supports evolution, not a single inventor.
Specialist craft vocabulary; pair it with 鞋 in 绱鞋 when the context needs to be clear.
Do not use it as a catch-all for sewing.

1Why does 绱 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.
