U+72B5 "犵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
犵
U+72B5 "犵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical 94, which represents "dog" or "beast" (犭), combining with a phonetic component (乞) to form a logograph. This character appears in classical Chinese texts and historical dictionaries, where it is recorded with the pronunciation "gē" or "qì" and carries meanings related to dog-like animals, often specifically denoting a type of wild canine or a legendary beast. Due to its obscurity and lack of modern usage, it is typically encountered only in specialized contexts such as ancient literature, philological studies, or as a glyph in large character sets for digital typography.
