U+9B2C "鬬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9B2C "鬬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents the concept of fighting, quarreling, or contending, and it is an archaic or variant form of the more common character "鬥" (dòu), which carries the same meaning. This ideograph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, and its structure combines components related to strife and conflict, such as the radical for "fight" or "spear," though the precise graphical breakdown reflects historical script variations. While rarely used in modern simplified Chinese, it appears in classical texts, historical documents, and certain proper names, retaining its semantic association with battle or rivalry across East Asian languages that incorporate Chinese characters.
