狑
U+72D1 "狑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character composed of the radical for dog or animal on the left and a phonetic component on the right. It traditionally refers to a type of mythical or fierce dog-like creature mentioned in classical Chinese texts, often associated with strength or wildness.
