U+8C97 "貗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

貗

U+8C97 "貗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character classified under the radical for "pig" or "hog" (豕) and is believed to represent a mythical or composite animal, often interpreted as a cross between a pig and a leopard or similar feline, based on classical lexicons like the Shuowen Jiezi and Kangxi Dictionary. Its traditional reading in Mandarin is "lǜ" or "jù", though its usage is extremely limited in modern contexts, appearing primarily in ancient texts or linguistic records rather than contemporary writing. This character embodies the complexity of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, preserving a niche piece of East Asian cultural and etymological history.
