U+7344 "獄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
獄
U+7344 "獄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally meaning "prison," "jail," or "lawsuit," consisting of two radical components: the left side "犭" (dog) and the right side "言" (speech) with "犬" (dog) below, suggesting a compound idea of two dogs guarding a verbal dispute or judgment. In classical Chinese and Japanese usage, this character appears in contexts related to legal disputes, imprisonment, or criminal litigation, such as in the term "監獄" (prison). Its structure reflects ancient associations between dogs, guarding, and the enforcement of justice or confinement.
