turban

Origin & mnemonic

This radical originates from a pictograph in oracle-bone script depicting a piece of cloth rolled up or a turban. Over time, it became a symbol for fabrics, garments, and woven objects.

Mnemonic: The three strokes of the turban radical suggest a folded cloth bundle wrapped tightly together.
