U+9CF6 "鳶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logographic character primarily used in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean, where it represents a specific bird of prey commonly known as a kite or hawk in English. In its traditional Chinese form, the character combines a radical meaning "bird" with a phonetic component that hints at its pronunciation, and it carries cultural significance in East Asian contexts, often symbolizing strength, freedom, or a connection to the sky.
