U+8668 "虨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character that is extremely rare in modern usage. Its primary meaning in classical texts refers to a spotted or striped pattern, often describing the markings on a tiger or leopard, with its radical "虍" (tiger) suggesting a feline origin. The character is composed of the tiger radical combined with phonetic elements, and it has been recorded in historical dictionaries like the Kangxi Dictionary, but it does not appear in common contemporary Chinese or Japanese writing systems.
