U+9D78 "鵸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鵸

U+9D78 "鵸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that combines the radical for "bird" with a phonetic component suggesting a mystical or unusual quality. This character is traditionally used to refer to a type of legendary or supernatural bird in classical Chinese mythology and literature, often described as having multiple heads or extraordinary features. It appears in ancient texts such as the "Shan Hai Jing" (Classic of Mountains and Seas), where it is associated with omens or divine creatures. Due to its obscurity, the character is not commonly used in modern Chinese but remains of interest to scholars of historical linguistics and sinology.
