U+725E "牞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
牞
U+725E "牞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that primarily represents an ox with a turned or curved horn, though it is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese. Its meaning is derived from the combination of the radical "牛" (ox) and a phonetic or semantic component that suggests a twisting or bending action, implying strength or an unusual physical trait in livestock. This character is largely historical, appearing in ancient texts or specialized dictionaries rather than everyday writing, and it serves as an example of the extensive range of logographic expressions found in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified character set.
