U+96CA "雊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
雊
U+96CA "雊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a verb, meaning "to cry" or "to call" in the context of a pheasant or similar bird. It appears in classical Chinese texts, such as the "Book of Songs" (Shijing), where it describes the crowing of a pheasant, often associated with seasonal changes or mating calls. The character combines the semantic element for "bird" (隹) with the phonetic component "耩" (gòu), though its modern usage is rare and largely confined to ancient literature and specialized linguistic studies.
