U+8C9B "貛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
貛
U+8C9B "貛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and traditional Chinese character that represents a type of mythical or real animal, often identified as a badger or a fierce beast in classical texts. It is composed of the radical for "dog" or "beast" on the left side, indicating its zoological association, and a phonetic component on the right. In historical usage, the character appears in ancient Chinese dictionaries and literature, sometimes symbolizing strength or wildness, though it is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese writing. Its presence in the Unicode standard reflects the effort to preserve and encode even obscure historical or regional characters for digital communication.
