U+9E14 "鸔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9E14 "鸔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an obscure Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical for "bird" (鸟 or 鳥), signifying a type of waterfowl or aquatic bird. This character is extremely rare in modern and classical Chinese texts, with its specific meaning often listed as a kind of duck or a bird that dives into water, though precise literary references are scarce. Its usage is primarily found in ancient lexicons or specialized dictionaries, reflecting the vast but largely unused inventory of historical Chinese characters preserved in the Unicode standard.
