Unicode Version 17.0
鴬
U+9D2C "鴬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that also appears in Japanese as a kanji, where it is a simplified variant of the more common character "鶯" (U+9DAF). It primarily represents the nightingale or a type of small songbird, often associated with spring and its beautiful singing in classical East Asian poetry and culture. In modern usage, this specific glyph form is more commonly encountered in Japanese typography and names, while the traditional Chinese form retains the full "鳥" radical at the bottom. The character is classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, belonging to a set of shared ideographs used across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems.
