U+7FAD "羭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+7FAD "羭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character traditionally categorized under the radical for sheep or goat. Its meanings in classical texts include a dark-colored sheep or a goat with black patches, and it is also associated with the concept of a ewe or female sheep. Beyond its zoological reference, the character appears in ancient Chinese literature as a verb meaning to violate, corrupt, or lead into depravity, often carrying a metaphorical sense of moral contamination. This dual usage reflects the character's nuanced evolution in classical Chinese, where it describes both a physical animal trait and a figurative state of being tainted or perverted. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it is encoded for historical and scholarly usage, though it remains obscure in modern everyday Chinese writing.
