U+9E17 "鸗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鸗

U+9E17 "鸗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character classified under the radical for "bird" (鳥). Its exact meaning is obscure in modern usage, but historical dictionaries suggest it may refer to a mythical or specific type of large bird, possibly associated with strength or exotic plumage. This character is primarily encountered in ancient texts or classical Chinese literature, where it serves as a logogram representing a bird species not commonly referenced in contemporary language. Due to its rarity, it is not included in standard simplified Chinese character sets and is mostly of interest to scholars of Chinese epigraphy or paleography.
