About
The character 缨 is a phono-semantic compound. Its semantic component, the silk radical 纟 (糸 in the traditional form 纓), indicates it belongs to the category of textiles and threads. Its phonetic component, 婴 (嬰 in the traditional form), provides the pronunciation. Originally, it referred specifically to the ribbons used to secure a traditional hat under the chin. More broadly, the character denotes a tassel, decorative fringe, or ribbon made from bundled threads, often used as an ornamental attachment in historical clothing, official headgear, or ceremonial weaponry.
