U+7261 "牡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
牡
U+7261 "牡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily represents the concept of male or masculine, particularly in the context of animals, where it commonly refers to a male bird or beast and is often used as a counterpart to "牝" meaning female. In classical Chinese texts, this character appears in terms such as "牡牛" for bull or "牡馬" for stallion, and it also carries ceremonial or astronomical associations, such as in the name of a star or as a symbol of yang energy. Beyond its zoological usage, "牡" functions as a radical component in other characters and is regularly employed in modern and historical Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, where its meaning remains closely tied to the notion of maleness.
