U+9DA8 "鶨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9DA8 "鶨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that appears in classical texts, where its primary meaning is associated with a type of bird, often identified as a kind of crested or long-tailed fowl, though its exact ornithological referent is debated among philologists. This character, composed of the radical for "bird" (鳥) and a phonetic component related to "to cut" or "to judge," is not used in modern standard Chinese or Japanese, and its historical attestations are limited to ancient dictionaries and literary works. Due to its rarity, "鶨" does not have a widely accepted simplified form and is primarily of interest to specialists in paleography and historical linguistics who study the evolution of Chinese script and the lexicon of early East Asian natural history.
