U+8661 "虡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

虡

U+8661 "虡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of wooden stand or support, historically used to mount a large bell or drum in ancient Chinese ritual music and architecture. This ideogram is composed of radical components such as "虍" (tiger) and "八" (eight) but its meaning diverges from these literal parts, focusing instead on structural and ceremonial contexts. As a less common character, it appears in classical texts and specialized discussions of early Chinese instruments and courtly artifacts.
