U+9A74 "驴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+9A74 "驴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "donkey" and is commonly used in modern Mandarin Chinese. In traditional Chinese script, this character is written as "驢," with the simplified form "驴" being standard in mainland China, Singapore, and Malaysia. The character combines the radical "马" (horse) on the left, indicating its association with equine animals, and the phonetic component "户" on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation (lǘ). Beyond its literal meaning, "驴" appears in various idiomatic expressions, such as "驴唇不对马嘴" (literally "donkey's lips do not match horse's mouth"), meaning something is irrelevant or inconsistent. In Unicode, it is encoded under the CJK Unified Ideographs block and is widely used in digital text to represent this specific concept in Chinese and other East Asian languages.
