U+72A9 "犩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

犩

U+72A9 "犩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex character from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) block, representing an ancient or less commonly used ideograph. Its exact meaning and usage vary across historical contexts, but it is generally associated with classical Chinese literature or specialized terminology, often referring to a type of cattle or an ox-related concept, as suggested by its "牛" (cow) radical component. The character's intricate structure and low frequency of use make it a point of interest for linguists, calligraphers, and enthusiasts of historical script studies, though it is not present in modern standard character sets like those used for everyday Chinese text.
