U+7379 "獹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
獹
U+7379 "獹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that represents a type of dog, specifically a large, fierce hound, often described as a mastiff-like hunting dog in classical texts. Its radical is the dog radical (犭) and its phonetic component is 盧 (lú), suggesting a pronunciation close to "lu" in modern Mandarin. This character appears infrequently in historical literature, sometimes in poetry or records describing noble or imperial hunting dogs, and it belongs to the broader set of East Asian ideographs encoded in Unicode for digital text representation.
