U+8C85 "貅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
貅
U+8C85 "貅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese logograph that represents a mythical animal, specifically a type of auspicious beast often referred to as the "pi xiu" or "pi yao," which is traditionally believed to attract wealth and ward off evil spirits in Chinese culture. This character combines the radical for "mammal" or "beast" with a phonetic component, and it is frequently used in modern contexts for jewelry, feng shui practices, and decorative items. In historical texts, the貅 is sometimes associated with a fierce, lion-like creature that serves as a protector, though it is distinct from the similar but horned creature "qilin."
