U+9A8D "骍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9A8D "骍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of red horse, often specifically denoting a bay horse with a black mane and tail, or more generally a horse that is entirely red or reddish in color. This character is composed of the radical "马" (horse) on the left and the phonetic component "辛" on the right, reflecting its semantic and phonetic structure within the Chinese writing system. Historically, "骍" appears in classical Chinese texts, such as the "Book of Documents" and "Rites of Zhou," where it is sometimes used in ceremonial contexts, such as describing the color of animals selected for sacrifice. In modern usage, it remains a relatively rare character, primarily encountered in literary or historical references.
