狉
U+72C9 "狉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a small, wild animal, often specifically identified as a kind of badger or raccoon dog, and is featured in classical texts such as the "Shan Hai Jing" (Classic of Mountains and Seas). This character belongs to the Kangxi radical for dog or animal (犭) and is categorized among ancient terms for fauna, appearing in compound words like "豳狉" to denote wild or untamed creatures. Its usage is largely historical and literary, with limited application in modern Chinese where it has been mostly replaced by alternative standard characters.
