U+9B4E "魎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+9B4E "魎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents a mythical creature commonly known as a "mountain spirit" or "demon," often associated with wild, ghostly, or eerie phenomena in folklore. This ideograph is a combination of the radical "鬼" (ghost or demon) and the phonetic component "兩" (two), though its meaning is not tied to the number two. In classical texts, the character is used to denote a supernatural being that dwells in remote mountains or forests, sometimes described as a kind of malicious entity or goblin. It is frequently paired with the similar character "魑" to form the compound "魑魎," which refers to various mountain demons or evil spirits in Chinese mythology. The character remains in use in modern Chinese and Japanese (where it is read as "ryō" or "kō") primarily in literary, folkloric, or supernatural contexts.
