U+9CCF "鳏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the concept of a widower, specifically a man who has lost his wife and remains unmarried. It is composed of the radical for fish (鱼) on the left, which serves as a semantic component, and a phonetic element on the right that contributes to its pronunciation. In classical Chinese literature, this character appears in contexts describing loneliness or the state of being without a spouse, and it is also used in the term "鳏寡孤独" to refer to widowers, widows, orphans, and the childless elderly as a group requiring societal care.
