U+72E7 "狧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
狧
U+72E7 "狧" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph that combines the radical for dog or canine, "犭", with the phonetic component "舌" meaning tongue, and its primary historical meaning relates to a dog licking or eating in a greedy manner, akin to the verb "to lap up." This character is considered rare in modern standard Chinese, appearing mostly in classical texts or specialized dictionaries where it denotes an animal's act of consuming food with its tongue. When used in ancient Chinese literature, "狧" often carries a specific connotation of hasty or voracious licking, distinguishing it from more common synonyms for canine feeding behaviors.
