U+9E0C "鸌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9E0C "鸌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Han character that refers to a type of water bird, often identified as a pelican or a related seabird, based on its composition of the "bird" radical combined with phonetic elements that suggest a connection to water or diving. This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese writing, but it appears in classical texts and lexicons, such as the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is defined as a bird resembling a cormorant or pelican known for its fishing abilities. Its usage is largely historical, making it of interest to scholars of Sinographic scripts and paleography rather than in everyday contemporary language.
