U+9E02 "鸂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鸂
U+9E02 "鸂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that traditionally refers to the Mandarin duck, specifically the *Aix galericulata* species (a colorful waterfowl native to East Asia) and is often found in classical literature and poetry where it symbolizes marital fidelity and happiness. This character, pronounced *xī* in modern Mandarin, is composed of the radical for "bird" (鳥) alongside a phonetic component, and it belongs to the set of CJK Unified Ideographs used for encoding Chinese, Japanese, and Korean in text, though it is not commonly encountered in everyday modern writing or simplified Chinese scripts.
