U+9DC9 "鷉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9DC9 "鷉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that, in its modern usage, represents a type of bird, specifically a grebe or a similar diving waterfowl, though its precise ancient reference can vary. This character is composed of the radical for "bird" (鳥) on the right and a phonetic component on the left, typical of many CJK characters formed through semantic phonetic compounding. While not among the most common characters in everyday Chinese writing, it may appear in classical texts, zoological nomenclature, or specialized literary contexts. Its inclusion in the Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs block ensures that it can be digitally represented and correctly interpreted across modern computing systems, preserving a niche but meaningful part of the written Chinese lexicon.
