U+9D3F "鴿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鴿

U+9D3F "鴿" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that represents the concept of a dove or pigeon, specifically the traditional form of the character used in contexts such as Traditional Chinese, Korean Hanja, and Japanese Kanji. This ideograph is composed of the radical for "bird" (鳥) on the right side, combined with a phonetic component suggesting the sound or meaning related to "joining" or "harmony" on the left. In cultural symbolism, the character is often associated with peace, fidelity, and domesticity, as pigeons and doves have long been used in messaging and as emblems of tranquility across East Asian traditions. The glyph is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, which standardizes thousands of characters from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems for digital use.
