U+9D7A "鵺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鵺
U+9D7A "鵺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a mythical creature from East Asian folklore, specifically known as the Japanese nue. In traditional tales, the nue is a hybrid monster with the head of a monkey, the body of a tanuki (a raccoon dog), the legs of a tiger, and the tail of a snake, often associated with causing illness or bad omens. This character is used in literary and historical contexts to refer to this chimera-like being, and its usage extends to Japanese kanji, where it carries the same mythical meaning. The character itself is composed of the radical for bird (鳥) and a phonetic component, reflecting its connection to avian imagery despite the creature's mixed nature.
