U+737C "獼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
獼
U+737C "獼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of monkey, specifically the macaque, and is often used in classical and modern Chinese to denote this primate. It belongs to the Kangxi radical 94 (犬, meaning dog or animal) combined with the phonetic component 彌, and appears in historical texts such as the Erya and Shuo Wen Jie Zi, where it describes wild monkeys native to East and Southeast Asia, sometimes associated with cunning or mischievous behavior. In contemporary usage, it is less common but can be found in zoological contexts, literary references to traditional folklore, or compound terms like 獼猴桃 (míhóu táo) for kiwifruit, named for the fruit's resemblance to the monkey's favorite food.
