U+9E36 "鸶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9E36 "鸶" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the egret or heron, specifically used in the name of the little egret (Egretta garzetta) and appears in classical Chinese poetry and literature. This character was derived from the earlier traditional form "鷥", which combines the radical for bird "鸟" with the phonetic component "丝" (meaning silk), likely referencing the bird's fine, white plumage. It is classified under the Kangxi radical 196 (鸟 for bird) and requires 10 strokes in modern simplified Chinese script, where it is primarily encountered as part of the compound word "鸬鹚" (cormorant) in contemporary usage.
