U+728A "犊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+728A "犊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "calf" or the young of a cow or ox. It is composed of the radical for cow or ox (牜) on the left and the phonetic component "卖" on the right, reflecting its logographic structure common in written Chinese. In modern usage, this character often appears in words like "牛犊" referring to a calf, or in the idiom "初生牛犊不怕虎" which describes a fearless novice. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and is used in both traditional and simplified Chinese scripts, though its form remains consistent across these systems.
