U+72CB "狋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+72CB "狋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character traditionally used in classical texts, primarily meaning "to cover" or "to conceal," and it belongs to the radical 94 (犬, "dog") with a total of 9 strokes. Its structure combines the dog radical with a phonetic component, and while it appears in some historical dictionaries such as the Kangxi Dictionary, it is not commonly used in modern Mandarin or everyday writing. This character exemplifies the depth of the CJK Unicode block, which encodes thousands of logographic characters from Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and other languages, preserving ancient or obscure symbols for scholarly and digital documentation.
