U+5DE2 "巢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+5DE2 "巢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning "nest" or "lair," often used to denote a bird's nest or a dwelling place, and it extends metaphorically to signify a hideout or base for outlaws or bandits in literary and historical contexts. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, and its composition includes the radical for "tree" or "wood" (木) as a component, reflecting its original pictographic representation of birds perched in a tree or a structure built within branches. In modern usage, it appears in terms such as "鸟巢" (niǎo cháo) for a bird's nest and is also famously used in the name of the Beijing National Stadium, known as the "Bird's Nest" for its iconic lattice design.
