U+9DB9 "鶹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鶹
U+9DB9 "鶹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used traditional Chinese character that historically refers to a type of bird, specifically the Chinese bamboo partridge or a similar small game bird, often associated with the "owl" family in some classical texts. Its structure combines the "bird" radical (鳥) with the phonetic component "留" (liú), which gives a clue to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "liú". This character appears in ancient Chinese lexicons and poetry, but it is not commonly encountered in modern writing or daily use, making it a specialized character primarily of interest to scholars of classical Chinese literature and etymology.
