The character 褎 is an archaic form of 袖 (sleeve). It features the clothing radical 衣, split to frame internal elements that provide both phonetic and semantic value. Historically, it referred specifically to the part of a garment covering the arm. Its complex structure was later simplified into the modern 袖. The meaning has remained consistent, denoting a sleeve, and appears mainly in classical texts as a noun for this article of clothing.
