U+9D98 "鶘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9D98 "鶘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that represents a type of bird, specifically the pelican, and is used in traditional Chinese and Japanese writing systems. This character is composed of two main components: the radical "鳥" (bird) on the right side, which indicates its semantic category, and the phonetic component "胡" (hu) on the left, which gives a clue to its pronunciation. In modern usage, "鶘" is less common than its simplified variant "鹕" (U+9E55), but it still appears in classical texts and specialized contexts, such as in the name of the bird species "鵜鶘" (tíhú), meaning pelican. As a CJK unified ideograph, it belongs to the set of East Asian characters standardized in Unicode to ensure consistent representation across different languages and platforms.
