U+9E44 "鹄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9E44 "鹄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character that primarily refers to a swan or a large water bird, often identified as a whooper swan in classical Chinese contexts. In modern usage, it can also represent the term for a target or aiming point, as seen in the compound word "鹄的," which means a target or goal. The character is composed of a "bird" radical on the left and the phonetic component "告" on the right, reflecting its semantic and phonetic structure. It appears in classical literature, such as in Chen Sheng's famous declaration "Swallows and sparrows know not the ambitions of the swan," where it symbolizes lofty aspirations.
