U+9CE5 "鳥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鳥
U+9CE5 "鳥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents the concept of a bird, depicting a silhouette of a bird in flight or perching, and is used across multiple East Asian languages including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In Japanese, it is pronounced "tori" and appears in words like "小鳥" (kotori, small bird) and "鳥肉" (toriniku, poultry meat), while in Chinese (pinyin: niǎo), it is a common radical in characters related to birds, such as "鴨" (yā, duck) and "鵝" (é, goose). This logogram traces its origins back to ancient oracle bone script, evolving from a pictogram of a crested bird into its current stylized form, and remains a widely recognized symbol in cultural contexts, including idioms and literature.
