U+9E5D "鹝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9E5D "鹝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that traditionally refers to a type of bird, specifically identified in classical texts as the "鹝" or "yì," which is sometimes glossed as a kind of pheasant or a bird with colorful plumage. It belongs to the bird radical (鸟) and is found in ancient Chinese dictionaries and literary works, where it appears as a variant or alternative form of the character "鷊" (also pronounced yì). In modern usage, this character is largely obsolete and is primarily seen in historical or specialized linguistic contexts rather than in everyday writing.
