U+99B9 "馹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
馹
U+99B9 "馹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a post horse or a relay horse used in ancient China for the imperial courier system. This system, known as the "yi" system, relied on swift horses stationed at relay stations to transport official documents and messages across long distances. The character itself combines the radical for "horse" (马) on the left with the phonetic component "日" (sun or day) on the right, and is rarely used in modern Chinese, though it appears in historical texts related to transportation and communication. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is "rì," and it is considered a specialized, antiquated term rather than a common character in contemporary usage.
