猹
U+7339 "猹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that refers to an animal resembling a badger, specifically a type of canine-like creature often identified as a dhole or a wild dog in some interpretations. This character gained notable cultural recognition through its use in Lu Xun's famous early 20th century short story "A Madman's Diary" (狂人日记), where it appears in a passage describing a creature that eats humans, thereby symbolizing societal predation. Despite its limited frequency in modern Chinese, the character remains significant in literary and academic contexts due to its specific historical and symbolic connotations.
