U+99BC "馼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
馼
U+99BC "馼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and largely archaic Chinese character with a complex meaning related to a mythical striped horse or a legendary beast. Found in classical texts such as the Shuowen Jiezi (an ancient Chinese dictionary), it is composed of the radical for horse (马 or 馬) combined with a phonetic component, and it denotes a fabled animal sometimes associated with the zōu yú (a righteous, tiger-like creature) or a type of auspicious steed that does not tread on living grass. Because of its extreme obscurity in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean usage, it is primarily of interest to historians of ancient scripts and specialists in classical mythology rather than appearing in everyday language.
