U+72C2 "狂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
狂
U+72C2 "狂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is also used in Japanese (kanji) and Korean (hanja), with the core meaning of "mad," "crazy," "wild," or "frenzied." In Chinese, it carries connotations of extreme excitement, insanity, or arrogance, and appears in compounds like 瘋狂 (fēngkuáng, "crazy") and 狂歡 (kuánghuān, "carnival" or "wild celebration"). In Japanese, it similarly implies madness or violence, as seen in words such as 狂う (kuruu, "to go mad") and 熱狂 (nekkyō, "enthusiasm"). The character originates from a historical combination of a semantic element for "dog" (犭) and a phonetic component (王), though its evolved form emphasizes unrestrained, irrational behavior.
