U+9D8C "鶌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9D8C "鶌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and historically obscure Chinese character, primarily encountered in classical texts rather than modern usage. Its exact meaning is uncertain, but it is believed to refer to a type of bird, often associated with the "cuckoo" or a similar species in ancient lexicons. The character is composed of the radical "鳥" (bird) on the left and the phonetic component "屈" (qū) on the right, indicating both its semantic category and possible pronunciation. Due to its extreme rarity, it appears almost exclusively in specialized dictionaries or digital character databases for historical and linguistic research, and it has no commonly known or defined usage in contemporary Chinese, Japanese, or Korean languages.
