U+9E2A "鸪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鸪
U+9E2A "鸪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, representing a term for a type of bird, specifically the partridge or a similar game bird. This character is composed of a left radical related to birds, "鸟" (simpBird), and a phonetic component on the right, "古" (gu), which provides the sound. It appears in classical and modern Chinese texts to denote the animal, and its usage extends to literary contexts and compound words, such as "鹧鸪" (zhegu), meaning the Chinese francolin or partridge. The character is one of many in the extensive CJK set that encodes shared characters across East Asian writing systems.
