U+8C98 "貘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logograph used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean that represents the tapir, a large, herbivorous mammal with a short snout and rounded body, native to tropical forests of Central and South America and Southeast Asia. In Chinese mythology and classical texts, this character is also associated with a mythical beast that devours dreams, similar to the baku in Japanese folklore, where it is believed to bring good fortune by consuming nightmares. The character is composed of the radical 豸 (zhì), meaning a mythical beast or badger, and the phonetic component 莫 (mò). It appears in various literary and cultural contexts across East Asian languages, reflecting both zoological and supernatural traditions.
