U+737F "獿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

獿

U+737F "獿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character used primarily in classical or specialized contexts, rather than modern everyday language. Its meaning is often associated with a mythical animal or a creature resembling a dog, sometimes linked to the legend of a two-headed beast in ancient Chinese texts. The character is composed of the radical for dog or animal (犭) and a phonetic component, reflecting its zoological or mythological reference. Due to its obscurity, it is seldom encountered outside of historical or literary studies, and its usage has diminished in contemporary Chinese writing, making it a point of interest for scholars of archaic script and paleography.
