U+79BD "禽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
禽
U+79BD "禽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means "bird" or "fowl," and by extension refers to animals in general, particularly those that are wild or hunted. Its component parts include the radical for "human" or "person" and a phonetic element, reflecting its ancient usage in oracle bone script to denote captured game. In modern Chinese, it is most commonly used in compound words such as "家禽" meaning domestic fowl or poultry, and "禽兽" meaning birds and beasts, often used metaphorically to describe brutal or inhuman behavior. The character carries a rich historical and semantic depth, linking early hunting practices with contemporary language about animals and morality.
