U+9CEE "鳮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鳮
U+9CEE "鳮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents an archaic or variant form of the word for "chicken" or "fowl," often used in classical texts and historical contexts. This character is composed of the radical for "bird" (鳥) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting the logographic nature of Chinese writing where meaning and sound combine. In modern standard Chinese, the character has largely been replaced by the more common form "雞" or its simplified version "鸡," but it retains significance in the study of ancient inscriptions, calligraphy, and linguistic evolution.
