U+9B12 "鬒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9B12 "鬒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily means "thick, black hair" and is used in classical literary contexts to describe luxuriant, dark locks of hair, often found in poetry or historical texts. It is composed of the radical for hair (髟) and the phonetic component "真", which together convey both the visual and semantic association with dense, black hair. In modern usage, this character is rare and considered a variant of the more common character "鬂", though it retains a distinct presence in specialized or academic discussions of Chinese orthography and calligraphy. The character belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, which encompasses characters from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts, and its encoding ensures representation for digital text processing and historical document preservation.
