U+5ECC "廌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
廌
U+5ECC "廌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an ancient Chinese character that represents a mythical beast, often identified as a type of goat-like creature or a legendary animal associated with justice, known as the xiezhi in Chinese mythology. This ideograph originally depicted a horned beast used in antiquity to gore guilty parties in legal judgments, symbolizing impartiality and the ability to discern right from wrong. Over time, the character has been used in classical texts and as a component in compound words, though it is rarely employed in modern everyday Chinese, retaining its historical and cultural significance primarily in scholarly and mythological contexts.
