U+9B21 "鬡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9B21 "鬡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that represents a specific type of disheveled or tangled hair, often conveying a sense of untidiness or wildness in appearance. This ideograph falls under the broader CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, which encodes thousands of logographic characters shared across these East Asian languages, though "鬡" is archaic and not commonly encountered in modern texts or daily communication. Its structure combines the radical "髟" (indicating hair) with a phonetic component, highlighting how traditional Chinese characters can encode nuanced visual concepts within their composition.
