U+8C8F "貏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8C8F "貏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character that appears in classical literary texts, particularly associated with the compound word "貏豸" (bǐ zhì), which describes a majestic, powerful, or galloping horse. This ideograph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block, and its usage is largely historical, as it is not commonly employed in modern written Chinese or Japanese. The character has a complex structure, combining the radical for "shell" or "cowry" (貝) as a phonetic component, though its specific meaning remains tied to its poetic and descriptive context in classical literature.
