U+727C "牼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
牼
U+727C "牼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically refers to a type of bovine, specifically an ox or a castrated bull, and is often associated with agricultural or sacrificial contexts in classical texts. It is composed of the radical 牜 (ox) on the left and the phonetic component 巠 on the right, reflecting its semantic connection to cattle and its pronunciation, which in modern Mandarin is read as kēng. While not commonly used in everyday Chinese, the character appears in ancient literature and historical documents, preserving a specific term for livestock management in traditional Chinese culture.
