U+7342 "獂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7342 "獂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that traditionally referred to a type of mythical or legendary beast, often depicted as a monstrous creature in ancient texts. Its composition combines the radical for "dog" or "beast" (犭) with a phonetic component, and it appears in classical literature, such as the "Shan Hai Jing" (Classic of Mountains and Seas), where it describes a creature resembling a dog with a human face. In modern usage, this character is extremely obscure, seldom used in contemporary Chinese or Japanese writing, and primarily holds interest for scholars of ancient mythology, paleography, or historical linguistics.
