U+9D38 "鴸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9D38 "鴸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character that typically refers to a type of bird, often identified in classical texts as a kind of owl or a mythical bird associated with omens. Its usage is primarily found in ancient Chinese literature, such as in the Shanhaijing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), where it is described as having a human face and a bird body, and its cry was believed to portend misfortune. In modern contexts, this character is extremely uncommon and is not part of standard vocabulary, making it of interest mainly to scholars of historical Chinese scripts or Unicode enthusiasts.
