U+8C40 "豀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8C40 "豀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a lesser-used Chinese character that historically refers to a type of ravine or valley, particularly one formed by the convergence of streams, and it is sometimes associated with the sound of rushing water. In classical texts, it can also appear as a variant of the more common character "溪" (xī), which similarly denotes a small stream or mountain brook, though "豀" carries a more specialized or archaic nuance in certain literary contexts. Structurally, it is composed of the radical 豕 (pig) on the left, which contributes to its phonetic and semantic history, and the component 奚 on the right, giving it the reading xī in modern Mandarin. Its usage is rare in contemporary Chinese, primarily appearing in ancient poetry, encyclopedic works, or specialized linguistic studies of classical characters.
