U+9E5B "鹛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9E5B "鹛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a type of bird, specifically the babbler, which is a member of the family Timaliidae, known for its melodious song and often found in East and Southeast Asia. This character is composed of a semantic radical related to birds, "鸟" (bird), and a phonetic component, "眉" (eyebrow), which suggests a possible link to the bird's distinctive facial markings. In traditional Chinese and Japanese usage, it appears in zoological contexts and classical literature to refer to these small, lively birds, but it is not commonly encountered in modern everyday writing, remaining more specialized in its application.
