枭
U+67AD "枭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally refers to a type of owl, particularly one associated with nocturnal habits and often symbolizing fierceness or treachery in classical literature and idioms. In historical contexts, it was also used to denote a decapitated head displayed as a warning, stemming from its use in ancient punishments, and thus carries connotations of grimness or defiance. In modern Chinese, it appears in terms like "枭雄," meaning a formidable or unscrupulous leader, and remains a component in various compound words and place names, reflecting its enduring role in written Chinese across centuries.
