Following a standard phono-semantic structure, 襆 (fú) combines the clothing radical 衤 on the left, indicating its connection to cloth, with the phonetic component 菐 on the right. Its primary meaning is a cloth bundle or sack used for carrying belongings. The character gained particular prominence in the Tang and Song dynasties through the term 襆頭 (fútóu), which denoted a specific style of men's cloth headwear, showing how its meaning expanded from a general wrapper to a distinct type of historical turban.
