Unicode Version 17.0
魙
U+9B59 "魙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that falls within the ghost radical 鬼 (demon or spirit). Its meaning is associated with a legendary ghost or demonic entity, often described as a fearsome specter in classical Chinese folklore and texts. The character itself is an extended form or variant of similar ghost-related characters, and due to its obscurity, it is not used in modern everyday Chinese but appears occasionally in historical or literary references concerning supernatural beings. It carries a distinct and archaic visual structure, reflecting the intricate nature of traditional Chinese script.
