U+7378 "獸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
獸
U+7378 "獸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that fundamentally means "beast" or "animal," often used to refer to wild or untamed creatures. In classical and modern Chinese texts, it appears in words like "野獸" (wild beast) and "獸醫" (veterinarian). Historically, the character's composition reflects its meaning, with the left radical "犭" (dog) indicating the animal category and the right component "單" sometimes interpreted as a phonetic or semantic element related to hunting or herding. This character is also used in Japanese Kanji with similar meanings and appears across various East Asian cultural contexts, including literature, art, and idioms that contrast the civilized human world with the wild, natural realm.
