U+737D "獽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+737D "獽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that appears in classical texts, primarily associated with an ancient form of dog or a mythical canine-like creature. Its structure combines the radical for dog or beast (犭) with the phonetic component "襄," suggesting a possible connection to sounds or concepts related to that element. While its precise meaning is obscure in modern usage, historical lexicons like the Kangxi Dictionary reference it as a term for a type of animal, possibly a wild dog or a hybrid creature, and it is seldom used in contemporary Chinese or Japanese, making it a subject of interest mainly for paleographers and scholars of ancient script.
