U+9E05 "鸅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9E05 "鸅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that refers to a type of water bird, often identified as a pelican or a similar aquatic bird in classical literature. It is composed of the radical for bird (鳥) on the left and the phonetic component "睪" (also pronounced yi or ze) on the right, following the typical structure of many Chinese characters where meaning and sound are combined. This character appears in ancient texts such as the Erya, an early Chinese dictionary, and in poetry where it describes the bird's distinctive traits, but it is not commonly used in modern Chinese writing or everyday language. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that it remains digitally representable for scholarly, historical, and linguistic purposes, preserving access to classical Chinese literature and philological studies.
