U+7358 "獘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

獘

U+7358 "獘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character primarily used in classical or literary contexts, where it denotes the concept of "to kill" or "to destroy," often with a connotation of violent or fatal action. It is composed of the radical for "dog" or "beast" (犭) suggesting a predatory or bestial nature, combined with a phonetic component that contributes to its pronunciation, historically reconstructed as something like "bi" or "bei" in Middle Chinese. This character appears in ancient texts such as the "Zhuangzi" and other philosophical works, where it is used metaphorically to describe the harmful or destructive aspects of human behavior, though it is extremely uncommon in modern Chinese usage and is mostly encountered in specialized philological or historical studies.
