徹

1. Linear Passage: To pierce, penetrate, or pass entirely through a barrier.

2. Completeness and Thoroughness:

• Temporal/Spatial totality: Lasting from beginning to end (e.g., "throughout the night").
• Intellectual/Administrative depth: Fully grasping a matter or carrying a plan through to completion.

3. Removal of Clothing: Stripping or taking off garments, specifically in contexts of ritual, mourning, or changes in status.

• "Pervade" vs. "Penetrate": The glyph generally suggests a linear or exhaustive process (like an arrow piercing a target) rather than a diffuse saturation (like gas filling a room).
• Overlap with 澈: There is conceptual overlap with 澈 (clear/pure); translators should distinguish between the act of penetrating confusion and the resulting state of clarity.

• Variants: Semantic variant U+6F88 (𦨨) appears in manuscripts; simplified form is U+5F7B.

• The 衣 (clothing) radical anchors the specific sense of removing garments.

If a passage mentions attire or ceremony, prioritize the "removal of clothing" sense over "penetrate."
