U+9B3E "鬾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+9B3E "鬾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that historically refers to a type of evil spirit or ghost child, often associated with folklore and superstition surrounding restless or vengeful infant souls. Its structure combines the radical "鬼" (ghost or demon) with the phonetic component "其," indicating both its semantic domain and approximate pronunciation in some historical varieties of Chinese. This character appears in classical texts, such as the "Shanhaijing" (Classic of Mountains and Seas), where it describes supernatural entities believed to cause illness or misfortune. Due to its highly specific and esoteric nature, "鬾" is not used in modern Mandarin or everyday communication, but it remains a part of the Unicode standard to preserve ancient written traditions.
