U+731A "猚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
猚
U+731A "猚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of mythological beast or a creature associated with ancient texts, though it is rarely used in modern Chinese. It is composed of the radical 犭 (dog or beast) and the phonetic component 佳, suggesting a connection to a specific animal or legendary being. In classical literature, such as the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), "猚" appears as the name of a mysterious bird-like creature, sometimes described as having a human face and a single foot. Due to its obscurity, the character is not commonly encountered in everyday writing and is mostly of interest in the study of historical or mythological Chinese vocabulary.
