U+9D9C "鶜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9D9C "鶜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex logograph used in classical Chinese and Japanese kanji, representing a specific type of bird, often identified as the "wagtail" or a related avian species. This character belongs to the Unified CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) block, which encompasses thousands of ideographs historically shared across these East Asian writing systems, though "鶜" itself is now rarely used in everyday modern text. Its structure combines a phonetic or semantic component on the left, typically associated with birds, and a radical on the right that may indicate sound or meaning, illustrating the traditional method of character formation in Chinese script.
