韒

cjk unified ideograph-97d2

Scabbard variant

18899/20992

韒 is a historical variant of 鞘, the Chinese character for a sword or knife scabbard; older dictionaries also record it for decorative strips on a saddle.

Text symbol

What 韒 means

It names a blade sheath and, in older sources, saddle trim.

A linked early form appears on Warring States Chu slips associated with the tomb of Zeng Hou Yi. A paleographic study reads 韒路 there as possibly 雀路, so this passage does not securely establish the word's meaning.

Historical and dictionary-facing; 鞘 is the ordinary form for the scabbard sense.
