What 韗 means
A craft worker who prepared leather for drums. The Kaogong ji (考工記), an old Chinese craft manual, lists 韗人 among five leather-working trades. Dictionaries also record “boot” as another meaning.
The standard gloss treats 韗人 as a drum-making trade. In 2021, a scholarly study argued that the passage describes work overlapping with 鮑人, another leather worker, so the exact division of labor is debated.
For keyboard entry, a Mandarin pinyin input method accepts yun; Cangjie uses 木手月十十.
