What 襏 means
襏 chiefly appears in 襏襫, a word for a coarse rain cape.
The Qi chapter of 《國語》, an early Chinese historical work, depicts farm workers wearing 襏襫 in the fields. Dictionaries gloss it as rainwear, including a coarse, sturdy garment for hard labor.
A 2024 Taiwan Ministry of Education variant dictionary notes that 《說文》, an early Chinese character dictionary, does not record 襏. That absence cannot date the first appearance of the character or the rainwear term.
Why does 襏 appear with 襫?
襏襫 is the established two-character name for this rain garment.
襏 alone is not a general word for clothing. 袯 is the simplified Chinese counterpart of 襏.
How do I type 襏?
Type bó in a Mandarin pinyin input method, then select 襏.
A single pinyin syllable can match many Han characters. Enter the full word 襏襫 in a phrase-capable Chinese input method for more context; component, stroke, handwriting, or Unicode-hex input are other options.
Fonts may draw Han characters differently by locale or design. A change in the glyph's appearance does not change the encoded character.
Literary and specialized: expect it in historical texts or dictionary work, not as a casual standalone word.
For the rain garment, use 襏襫; 襏 alone can read like an unfinished term.

1Why does 襏 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.
