U+8C8A "貊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8C8A "貊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) historically used in East Asian scripts, including Japanese and Korean, where it refers to a specific ancient ethnic group or a type of wild animal, often interpreted as a leopard or a large cat. In classical Chinese texts, it appears in the compound "貊國" to denote a peripheral state or tribe in northern regions, and it also carries an archaic, pejorative connotation for barbarian outsiders in some contexts. The character itself is composed of the radical for "cat" or "beast" (豸) combined with a phonetic element, reflecting its zoological and cultural roots in premodern East Asian lexicons.
