U+2FCF "⿏" Kangxi Radical Rat Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⿏
U+2FCF "⿏" Kangxi Radical Rat is the 208th radical in the Kangxi system, symbolizing a rat, mouse, or rodent, and appears at the left side of a compound Chinese character. It is one of the few radicals depicting animals and is used in characters related to rodents or small mammals, such as 鼠 (mouse or rat) itself, though it is less common than other animal radicals. This radical traces its origin to a pictograph of a rat with a pointed head, tail, and feet, and while it is not frequently used in modern Chinese, it retains relevance in traditional lexicography and historical character classification.
