U+72AA "犪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
犪
U+72AA "犪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and mostly obsolete Chinese character that appears in classical texts, where it is defined as the name of a type of ox or possibly a mythical bovine creature. It is composed of the radical 牛 (niu, meaning "cow" or "ox") on the left and the phonetic component 猋 (biao) on the right, which suggests a connection to speed or movement, though its exact usage in historical literature is extremely limited. This character is not commonly found in modern Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing systems, and it primarily exists as a glyph in the Unicode standard for representing obscure or archaic ideographs in digital text.
