U+72C4 "狄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
狄
U+72C4 "狄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to the Di, a term used in ancient China to denote various non-Han ethnic groups, particularly those from the northern regions, such as the Northern Di. Composed of the radical 犭, meaning "dog" or "animal," and the phonetic component 火, meaning "fire," it originally carried a pejorative connotation but later evolved to specifically name the Xianbei people of the Di tribes. In modern usage, the character appears in words like 狄戎 (Di Rong) for ancient northern tribes or is used as a surname, as well as in the name of the play The Orphan of Zhao and its hero, Cheng Ying.
