U+7FAF "羯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
羯
U+7FAF "羯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically refers to a castrated ram or goat, but it is most prominently known as the name of the Jie people, a non-Han ethnic group during the Sixteen Kingdoms period in ancient China who were famously involved in the establishment of the Later Zhao dynasty. This character is composed on its left side by the radical for "sheep" or "goat" (羊) and on its right side by the phonetic component 曷, reflecting its original meaning tied to livestock. In modern usage, "羯" can also appear in Buddhist contexts, as it transliterates certain Sanskrit terms, and it remains a recognized element within the CJK Unified Ideographs block for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts.
