U+999F "馟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
馟
U+999F "馟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character used primarily in classical texts and historical contexts. Its meaning is associated with the concept of a fragrant herb or a specific type of aromatic plant, often referenced in traditional Chinese literature and pharmacopoeia. This character belongs to the Kangxi radical 187 (馬, meaning horse) combined with a phonetic component, though its usage is extremely limited in modern Chinese, and it is not commonly found in standard dictionaries or everyday writing. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents one of the many obscure characters preserved in the Unicode standard to maintain digital representation of historical and linguistic heritage.
