U+9B2B "鬫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9B2B "鬫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character composed of a radical for "tiger" (虍) combined with an intricate phonetic component, traditionally meaning "the roar of a tiger" or a fierce, thunderous sound. This character appears in classical Chinese texts, such as the "Shuowen Jiezi" dictionary, where it is described as associated with the idea of a tiger's aggressive cry or menacing presence. In modern usage, it is extremely uncommon and largely confined to specialized linguistic or historical contexts, often representing a poetic or archaic term rather than a contemporary word. Its structure reflects the logographic nature of Chinese writing, where meaning and sound are encoded together, but its scarcity makes it a subject of interest primarily for scholars studying obscure or ancient characters.
