U+72C6 "狆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

狆

U+72C6 "狆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of small dog, often specifically a dog with a short snout or a Pekingese-like breed, and it is sometimes used in historical or regional contexts to denote a puppy or a young dog. This character is composed of the radical 犭 (dog) on the left and the phonetic component 中 (zhong, meaning middle or center) on the right, reflecting its logographic structure. In modern usage, it appears in classical texts and certain compound words related to canine terms, though it is less common in everyday Simplified Chinese writing, where more standard characters for "dog" or specific breeds are typically used.
