About

The character 氇 is the simplified form of 氌, used almost exclusively in the term pulu, a thick woolen fabric traditionally made by the Tibetan people. It is a phono-semantic compound: the radical 毛 (meaning hair or wool) indicates the material, while the right side, 魯 (in its simplified form 鲁), provides the pronunciation without adding semantic meaning related to textiles.
