U+9D8D "鶍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9D8D "鶍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that appears in the U4E00–U9FFF block, representing a bird or bird-related concept based on its radical "鳥" (bird) on the right side, combined with the phonetic component "易" (yi) on the left. This character is classified as a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph, meaning it is shared across these writing systems, though it is exceedingly uncommon in modern usage and often absent from standard dictionaries or everyday text. Its existence highlights the vast inventory of historical and specialized characters encoded in Unicode to preserve complete written traditions, even those no longer in common circulation.
