褪 means something comes off, fades, or draws back — the PC symbol for losing color or covering. In modern Chinese 褪色 is the everyday use: color fading to lighter. Its older sense was taking clothes off.

Text symbol

What 褪 means

It means something slips off or fades. 褪色怎么读 depends on dictionary and region: tùn sè in Taiwan education dictionaries, with both tùn and tuì listed for the character itself, so try both pinyin spellings when typing.

The recognizable form is old, not a Unicode invention. A language-history note reports a Han dynasty occurrence in 玉指环, says early dictionaries omitted it, and places the earliest reported dictionary entry in the Yuan period 古今韵会举要. The recorded core was taking clothes off.

褪和退有什么关系

退 is the base; 褪 narrows it. The later form adds the clothing radical 衤 to 退, so withdrawal plus clothing gives shed, molt, fade, or recede.

Use 褪 for color, fur, redness, or clothes coming off; use 退 for stepping back in general. Japanese 褪せる uses the same character for color, shine, or memory fading. In a Fall 2022 comparison, Cantonese also uses 褪 for move back, postpone, and back out.

Why does 褪 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.
