U+72CF "狏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+72CF "狏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character, primarily found in historical or classical texts rather than in modern usage. Its composition combines a radical meaning "dog" or "beast" with a phonetic component, and its traditional interpretation associates it with a mythological monstrous creature, often described as a type of tiger-like beast in ancient dictionaries such as the Shuowen Jiezi. Due to its obscurity, the character has no standard modern reading or well-defined colloquial meaning, and its usage is largely confined to scholarly discussions of paleography or historical linguistics.
