Help with unfamiliar kanji

[Dospraline]

Hi!

I came across a kanji that I can't seem to find in a dictionary. It looks like part of it has "丗" in it, but I still can't seem to find it. Would anyone else perchance know which kanji this is?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Where did you see it and how where you trying to look it up? It is a very common kanji. Maybe we can help you work on your lookup skills.

I was looking it up on Jisho.org. I usually have good luck with that site, but I guess I wasn't using the correct radicals. I thought it may consist of "山," but it didn't appear with that. I never would have guessed that it would have been "obi"...I don't see that kanji very often, hence why it didn't look familiar to me. But I probably could use help on kanji-searching!

IME Handwriting Recognition might be useful if you are using MS-IME.

(The radical of 帯 is 巾, by the way.)
