犰
U+72B0 "犰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a legendary nine-headed creature, often depicted in classical texts as a monstrous beast or a type of strange animal. In modern usage, this character is rare and is most commonly encountered in historical or mythological contexts, particularly within ancient Chinese literature where it appears as part of compound terms describing mythical fauna. Its structure combines the radical for "dog" or "beast" with a phonetic component, reflecting its categorization as a non-human entity.
