U+9D6E "鵮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9D6E "鵮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or historical Chinese character used in classical texts, typically representing a bird, often identified as a type of heron or a pecking bird, and it is associated with the action of pecking or striking with the beak. This character is composed of the radical for bird (鳥) on the right side, with a phonetic or semantic component on the left that suggests a sharp or piercing action, reflecting its use in ancient literature to describe birds that peck at fruit or other objects. Due to its obscurity, it is seldom used in modern Chinese or Japanese writing, but it remains encoded in Unicode as part of the large set of historical and classical CJK characters.
