U+7F8C "羌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

羌

U+7F8C "羌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically refers to an ancient ethnic group in western China, often associated with the Qiang people, one of the oldest known ethnic minorities in the region. The character is composed of the radical for "sheep" (羊) above the component for "person" or "foot," reflecting the pastoral and nomadic lifestyle traditionally attributed to this group. In classical texts, "羌" appears in historical records such as the Shiji and the Book of Han, describing tribes that inhabited areas near modern-day Sichuan and Gansu. Today, the character is used both in the name of the Qiang ethnic minority in China and in certain compound terms, though it is less common in everyday modern Chinese vocabulary. Its Unicode encoding ensures consistent digital representation across platforms for linguistic and historical study.
