狠
U+72E0 "狠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "cruel," "fierce," "ruthless," or "resolute," often used to describe a harsh or relentless nature in people or actions. It belongs to the radical "犭" (dog or animal) and has a phonetic component from "艮" (gèn), reflecting its traditional construction in the Chinese writing system. In modern usage, it appears in words like "狠心" (heartless) or "狠毒" (vicious), and can also denote extreme determination, such as in "狠抓" (to vigorously pursue). This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, encoded in Unicode 1.1 in 1993.
