U+4F25 "伥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+4F25 "伥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally refers to a ghost or spirit, specifically the spirit of a person who was eaten by a tiger and then lures other people to the same tiger to be devoured, a concept deeply rooted in Chinese folklore. In modern usage, the character "伥" often appears in the compound word "伥鬼" (chang gui), meaning a "ghost servant" or an accomplice who helps an evildoer, and it can also denote a state of being confused or at a loss, though its primary associations remain tied to mythological narratives of betrayal and supernatural coercion.
