U+9CF9 "鳹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9CF9 "鳹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that historically refers to a type of small bird, often associated with the shrike or a similar avian species, and in some classical texts it appears as a variant or component of other bird-related characters. It belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) Unified Ideographs block and is composed of the "niǎo" (bird) radical on the left side, indicating its semantic connection to birds, with a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation. This character is not commonly encountered in modern everyday writing but may appear in specialized contexts such as historical literature, linguistic studies of ancient Chinese, or as part of traditional dictionaries and character sets for encoding East Asian scripts.
