About
The character "罽" incorporates the net radical "罒" at its top, signaling an etymological association with woven materials, while its lower component combines elements from "刀" and "火" that historically provided phonetic guidance. Initially, the term designated a coarse woolen fabric used for items like carpets and blankets, with its application later narrowing to denote finer woolen textiles. This character has not developed a simplified form, and its semantic range has consistently centered on woolen products.
