U+9DA5 "鶥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9DA5 "鶥" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of small bird, often identified with the babbler or similar passerine species, and is traditionally depicted with the radical for "bird" (鳥) combined with the phonetic component "眉". This character appears in classical Chinese texts and dictionaries but is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin, making it an obscure glyph within the CJK Unified Ideographs block. Its usage is largely confined to historical or literary contexts, where it names specific avian varieties, and it may also appear in certain regional or scholarly references for ornithological terms.
