U+9B4A "魊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that traditionally refers to a mythical creature or a type of demon, often described in classical texts as a malevolent spirit that harms humans, sometimes associated with causing malaria or other ailments. Its composition combines the radical "鬼" (ghost, demon) with the phonetic component "或" (guō or yù), and it is pronounced as "yù" in Mandarin Chinese. While not commonly used in modern writing, this character appears in ancient literature, such as works of the Han Dynasty, where it denotes a legendary entity believed to bring sickness or misfortune.
