U+99CF "駏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

駏

U+99CF "駏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that historically refers to a type of mythological beast or a hybrid animal, often described as a cross between a boar and a horse in ancient texts. It is composed of the radical for horse (马 or 馬) and the phonetic component 巨, indicating its pronunciation and semantic category. In classical literature, such as the Erya or other early Chinese lexicons, 駏 was used to denote a creature of legend, but in modern usage it is extremely rare, primarily appearing in scholarly or historical contexts rather than everyday language. This character is encoded in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block, representing a part of the shared heritage of East Asian writing systems, though it lacks significant contemporary practical application.
