U+730A "猊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+730A "猊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that denotes a mythical lion like creature often referred to in classical texts as the Suanni or a divine beast, and it is also used to name a type of lion or a legendary guardian animal in East Asian art and folklore. This character is composed of the radical for dog or beast on the left side and the phonetic component "兒" on the right, and it appears in historical contexts such as descriptions of incense burners shaped like the creature or in Buddhist symbolism. In modern usage, it is relatively rare but retains its place in classical literature and traditional decorative motifs, particularly in relation to the fifth son of the dragon in Chinese mythology, who is said to resemble a lion and enjoy sitting in smoke.
