U+9B23 "鬣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鬣
U+9B23 "鬣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes the mane of an animal, such as a lion or horse, as well as a bristly or tufted growth of hair. In classical and modern usage, it appears in compound words like "鬣狗" (liègǒu), meaning hyena, directly referencing the animal's prominent mane. The character is composed of the radical "髟" (biāo), which relates to hair or flowing locks, and the phonetic component "巤" (liè), contributing to its pronunciation. This ideograph is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified character set and is used across these languages, though it remains relatively specialized, appearing more often in zoological or literary contexts than in everyday writing.
