About
The character "氆" is a phonetic-semantic compound consisting of the radical "毛", denoting hair or fur, and the component "普", which indicates its pronunciation. It exists solely within the compound "氆氇", referring to a woolen fabric of Tibetan origin. This character was formulated to transliterate a foreign term for the textile, and its meaning has remained specifically tied to that referent since its incorporation into the written language.
