U+729F "犟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+729F "犟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character composed of the radical for "ox" or "cow" above a component meaning "stubborn" or "rigid," and it primarily denotes a personality trait of being obstinate, bullheaded, or unyielding in disposition. Often used in colloquial and written Chinese to describe someone who is fiercely determined and refuses to change their mind or yield to persuasion, the character carries a slightly negative connotation of excessive stubbornness. Its structure visually suggests a strong, ox like force combined with inflexibility, making it a vivid example of how Chinese logographs encapsulate abstract human qualities through concrete imagery. This character is part of the Unicode standard’s CJK Unified Ideographs block, ensuring its representation across digital systems for East Asian languages.
