U+72C5 "狅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
狅
U+72C5 "狅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that combines the radical for "dog" or "beast" (犭) with the phonetic component "狂" (kuáng), meaning "mad" or "wild." It is believed to be a variant form of the character 狂, carrying a similar semantic nuance of ferocity, madness, or uncontrolled behavior, though it is not commonly encountered in modern standard Chinese or Japanese texts. Its existence primarily serves historical or calligraphic purposes, appearing in certain classical or obscure writings as an alternative representation of the concept of wildness.
