U+89EC "觬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
觬
U+89EC "觬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character primarily found in classical texts and historical dictionaries. It belongs to the "horn" radical (⻆ or 角) and is associated with the meaning of a horn that is curved, twisted, or bent, often specifically referring to the horn of an ox or another animal. The character has no common modern usage in everyday Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages, and its pronunciation in Mandarin is recorded as "ní" with a second tone. Its existence in the Unicode standard preserves this obscure glyph for scholarly research, historical documentation, and digital representation of ancient literature where such specialized terms appear.
