U+72DA "狚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

狚

U+72DA "狚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character, primarily found in classical texts rather than modern usage. It is composed of the radical 犭 (quǎn, meaning "dog" or "animal") and the phonetic component 旦 (dàn), suggesting a meaning related to a type of wild animal or, in some historical contexts, a ferocious beast. In ancient Chinese literature, such as the "Shan Hai Jing" (Classic of Mountains and Seas), it appears in descriptions of mythical creatures, sometimes depicted as a dog-like entity or a hybrid creature with aggressive traits. Due to its obscurity, the character is seldom encountered in contemporary writing and is mainly of interest to scholars of historical linguistics and classical sinology.
