U+9CF8 "鳸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9CF8 "鳸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph that in modern usage is extremely rare, though it historically appeared in classical texts. According to the Kangxi Dictionary, this character is recorded as a name for a type of bird, specifically identified with the quail or a bird resembling a quail, and it has also been noted as a surname in ancient China. The character is formed by the radical for "bird" (鳥) on the left and the phonetic component 户 (hù, meaning "door" or "house") on the right, though its pronunciation and usage are now largely obsolete in everyday modern Chinese.
