U+8C99 "貙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

貙

U+8C99 "貙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character representing a mythical beast or a wild feline, often described in classical texts as a kind of fierce leopard-like creature used in ancient archery or ritual contexts. This character belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is composed of the radical for "beast" or "dog" (豸) on the left, combined with a phonetic component on the right. In modern usage, it is seldom encountered outside specialized historical or literary references, and its precise meaning can vary across different ancient dictionaries, where it is sometimes linked to legendary monsters or totemic animals. The character's complexity and obscurity make it a subject of interest for scholars studying paleography or classical Chinese mythology.
