U+974D "靍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
靍
U+974D "靍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character classified under the radical for "rain" (雨), typically representing an archaic or obscure compound meaning related to a "crane" or "stork," often used in classical texts as a variant or synonym for similar avian terms. It is primarily associated with traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji usage, appearing infrequently in modern writing and generally requiring specialized font support or a Unihan database lookup for accurate rendering. This ideograph also carries historical and cultural significance in East Asian calligraphy, where it may denote auspiciousness or longevity due to its connection with cranes as symbols of wisdom and grace.
