U+7AAB "窫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
窫
U+7AAB "窫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that primarily functions as a component in place names or classical texts. Its radical is 穴, meaning "cave" or "hole," and the character as a whole suggests a sunken or hollow area, often associated with ancient pools or water features in historical inscriptions. The exact meaning can vary by context, but it is most notably linked to the "窫窳" (yà yǔ) mythical beast in Chinese mythology, a legendary creature described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" as a dragon-headed monster. In modern usage, it is largely obsolete and not commonly encountered in everyday Chinese writing.
