U+99DC "駜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

駜

U+99DC "駜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily represents a type of horse described in classical texts, often meaning a plump or stout horse with strong, sturdy legs. It appears in ancient literary works, such as the "Book of Songs" (Shijing), where it is used in poetic contexts to evoke images of robust and powerful steeds, symbolizing strength or vitality. The character is composed of the radical for "horse" (馬) on the left and the phonetic component "必" (bì) on the right, indicating both its meaning related to equines and its pronunciation in Middle Chinese. As an uncommon character in modern usage, it is mainly encountered in historical or scholarly references to classical Chinese poetry and calligraphy.
