U+9D21 "鴡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9D21 "鴡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and ancient Chinese character found in historical texts, primarily used as a name or a component in classical literature rather than in modern everyday language. Its structure combines the radical for "bird" (鳥) on the right side, indicating its avian association, with a phonetic or semantic component on the left that is less straightforwardly interpreted. This character appears in older dictionaries and is sometimes identified with a mythical or specific type of bird, though its exact meaning and usage remain obscure to most contemporary readers. As a member of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it represents a small piece of the vast and layered history of written Chinese, preserved for scholarly and technical encoding purposes.
