U+9E24 "鸤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9E24 "鸤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that serves as a variant form of the more common character 鳲 (shī), which refers to a type of bird, specifically the turtledove or cuckoo, as seen in classical texts like the Shijing (Classic of Poetry). In modern usage, it is most frequently encountered as a component of the compound word 鸤鸠 (shījiū), meaning turtledove, and is associated with the bird's role in traditional Chinese symbolism where it represents constancy or maternal care due to its reputed nesting habits. This character is composed of the radical 鸟 (bird) on the left and the phonetic component 豕 (shǐ) on the right, though it is seldom used in contemporary writing and is primarily found in historical or literary contexts.
