U+9DEF "鷯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鷯
U+9DEF "鷯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character representing the "wren" or a small bird species, often identified as the common wren or similar songbirds in classical texts. It is composed of the radical for "bird" (鳥) and a phonetic component "尞" (liáo) that hints at its pronunciation, typically read as "liáo" in Mandarin. This character appears in ancient Chinese literature, such as the "Erya" dictionary, where it references the bird's distinctive traits, though it is seldom used in modern writing, surviving more as a historical or specialized term for avian nomenclature.
