U+563C "嘼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
嘼
U+563C "嘼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or archaic Chinese character with varied historical meanings. In ancient texts, it has been used as a variant of the character 獸 (shòu), meaning "beast" or "animal," and can also serve as a simplified form of 畜 (chù or xù), which refers to livestock or to raising animals. Additionally, in some classical contexts, it was employed as a phonetic loan for other words, though its modern usage is extremely uncommon and largely limited to specialized linguistic or paleographic studies. This character is composed of the "mouth" radical (口) and other components, reflecting its complex etymological roots in the evolution of written Chinese.
