U+5DC2 "巂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+5DC2 "巂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character traditionally meaning a cuckoo or a type of bird, often used in classical texts to denote a bird that cries sadly or is associated with the arrival of spring. It is also recorded as a place name or a component in historical terms, and its structure combines the radical for "bird" (鸟) with phonetic elements, reflecting its origin in early Chinese writing. Due to its obscurity, it is seldom used in modern standard Chinese, but it remains part of the historical lexicon and is encoded in Unicode for scholarly and archival purposes.
