French term or phrase: liseret rouge
CONTEXT:

"Famille à ouvrir seulement pour *** (COUNTRY) *** (ceintures avec un liseret rouge).".

It's talking about judo and karate, so I'm pretty sure "ceinture" refers to martial arts belts. I've been unable to find a satisfactory translation for "liseret" on the Internet.

TIA.

Reference: liseré

Reference information:
Spelling mistake.
Contrairement au Judo, les ceintures de karaté ont un liseré rouge en leur centre qui parcourt toute sa longueur. Il existe également des demi-kyu représenté par des ceintures intermédiaires bicolores.
