About
The character 緌 is a phono-semantic compound with the silk radical 糸 on the left, indicating a textile material, and the phonetic component 委 on the right, providing its pronunciation. It refers specifically to the decorative tassels or ribbons traditionally attached to Chinese headwear, often tied under the chin to secure the hat. As a specialized term for historical attire, its use is confined to classical texts describing ceremonial dress, without any extended or modern colloquial meanings.
