U+72AB "犫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
犫
U+72AB "犫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character composed of multiple components, typically falling under the radical for "cow" or "ox" (牛). Its structure combines elements that suggest a meaning related to an ox or cattle, often with implications of strength or stubbornness, though its exact usage in modern Chinese is extremely limited, appearing primarily in historical or classical texts. The character's pronunciation in Mandarin is chōu, and it serves as an example of the vast, sometimes esoteric range of glyphs encoded in the Unicode Standard to preserve linguistic heritage.
