U+8666 "虦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8666 "虦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that falls under the radical for "tiger" (虍) and consists of nine strokes. Its meaning is not well documented in standard modern Chinese dictionaries, but it is believed to relate to a specific type of tiger or a tiger's markings, often appearing in classical texts or historical contexts rather than in contemporary usage. This character is part of the extensive CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set, which aims to encode characters used across East Asian languages, though its practical application today is largely limited to scholarly research or specialized literary references.
