U+72A2 "犢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
犢
U+72A2 "犢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that primarily means "calf" or "young ox," referring to a bovine animal in its early stages of life. In traditional Chinese and Japanese Kanji, it is used in words related to cattle and livestock, such as in the term "牛犢" (niúdú), meaning "calf." This character is composed of the radical 牛 (ox or cow) on the left side, indicating its semantic connection to bovines, and the phonetic component 賣 (sold or merchant) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "dú." Its use is largely confined to literary, agricultural, or historical contexts, as modern Chinese more commonly employs the simplified character 犊 for the same meaning.
