Unicode Version 17.0
犲
U+72B2 "犲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both traditional and simplified writing systems, though it is relatively rare in modern standard usage. It belongs to the radical 犭 (dog or beast), indicating a connection to animals or bestial qualities, and its phonetic component suggests a pronunciation close to "chai" or "cai" in Mandarin. Historically, this character has been associated with meanings related to a type of jackal or a wild, predatory animal, often appearing in classical texts or compound terms where it conveys a sense of ferocity or savagery. In contemporary contexts, it is encountered primarily in specialized literary or historical references rather than everyday language.
