Unicode Version 17.0

牦

U+7266 "牦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in the Chinese writing system, representing a type of yak or a domesticated bovine animal native to the mountainous regions of Central Asia. This character is composed of two main semantic and phonetic components: the radical "牛" (niú), meaning cow or ox, which indicates its association with livestock, and the phonetic element "毛" (máo), meaning fur or hair, which provides a clue to its pronunciation and also suggests the animal's shaggy coat. In modern Chinese, "牦" is most commonly encountered in the word "牦牛" (máo niú), specifically denoting the yak, a crucial pack animal and source of milk, meat, and wool for Tibetan and Himalayan cultures. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, this character is encoded for use in East Asian texts, reflecting its historical and practical significance in agricultural and pastoral nomenclature.
