U+8663 "虣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
虣
U+8663 "虣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that historically combines the radical for "tiger" (虍) with an element related to violence or force, often interpreted as meaning "to cruelly oppress" or "to rage violently," with classical usage appearing in ancient texts like the "Zuo Zhuan" and "Shuowen Jiezi," where it describes fierce or reckless behavior. This character is classified under the Kangxi radical 141 (tiger) and is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese, making it a specialized glyph primarily of interest to scholars of classical literature and historical linguistics.
