U+7370 "獰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
獰
U+7370 "獰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily conveys the meaning of ferocity, fierceness, or savage behavior, often in a negative context. It is composed of the radical 犭 (dog or animal) on the left, suggesting a bestial or wild nature, and the phonetic component 寧 on the right. In modern usage, this character appears in words like 猙獰 (zhēng níng), meaning grim or hideous in appearance, and can describe a terrifying facial expression or the menacing quality of a beast. Though less common in everyday writing, it retains significance in literary and descriptive Chinese prose, as well as in classical texts, where it evokes a sense of untamed aggression.
