U+733C "猼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+733C "猼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that typically refers to a type of mythical or legendary creature, often described in classical texts as a beast resembling a tiger with a human face or as a kind of wild animal associated with ancient folklore. Its components include the radical for dog or beast (犭) and the phonetic element "尃" (pū or fù), suggesting a pronunciation reconstructed as *bók* or similar in Middle Chinese. While not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, it appears in historical dictionaries and literary references, such as in the *Shanhaijing* (Classic of Mountains and Seas), where it denotes a supernatural being. The character thus carries connotations of antiquity, myth, and the esoteric nature of archaic Chinese writing.
