U+9E28 "鸨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9E28 "鸨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents the great bustard (Otis tarda), a large bird species known for its heavy build and terrestrial habits. In classical Chinese literature and culture, the character carries symbolic connotations that can include the notion of a matched pair or, pejoratively, an association with promiscuity due to historical misunderstandings of the bird's mating behavior. It is also used in a historical context to refer to a type of brothel keeper, derived from the bird's name.
