U+727B "牻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

牻

U+727B "牻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character that historically refers to a piebald or multicolored ox or cow, specifically one with mixed white and black markings. Its composition combines the radical 牜 (cow or ox) with the phonetic component 尨, which itself depicts a shaggy or brindled animal. While it appears in classical Chinese texts and historical dictionaries like the Kangxi Dictionary, the character is not commonly used in modern Mandarin, surviving primarily as an obscure or literary term. The glyph itself is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, encoded to represent this traditional character across digital systems.
