U+8C8B "貋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
貋
U+8C8B "貋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historically obscure Chinese character, classified under the radical for "dog" or "beast" (豸), which often relates to animal-like or fierce qualities. Its exact meaning is not well documented in modern dictionaries, but it is believed to refer to a type of mythical or untamed beast, possibly drawing on ancient textual traditions where such characters were used in names or descriptions of legendary creatures. This ideograph is part of the vast CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encompasses characters from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages, though "貋" is considered a non-standard or obsolete variant in contemporary usage.
