U+731B "猛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
猛
U+731B "猛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily meaning "fierce," "violent," or "sudden," often used to describe intensity in strength, speed, or temperament. It is composed of two main components: the radical 犭 (quǎn, meaning "dog" or "animal") and the phonetic element 孟 (mèng), which hints at its pronunciation. This logogram appears frequently in compound words such as 猛烈 (měngliè, meaning "fierce" or "violent") and 猛兽 (měngshòu, meaning "beast of prey" or "ferocious animal"). Beyond its literal sense, the character can also convey ideas of boldness or vigor, as in 勇猛 (yǒngměng, meaning "brave and fierce"), and it is commonly used in personal names and literature across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
