Unicode Version 17.0
狫
U+72EB "狫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character primarily found in historical texts and ancient dictionaries. Its composition combines the radical for dog or beast (犭) with the phonetic component 老, and it is generally understood to refer to a type of fierce or wild dog, though precise classical usage remains obscure. In modern standard Chinese, this character is not commonly used and does not appear in everyday vocabulary, making it of primary interest to scholars studying archaic written forms or specialized lexicons.
