U+9E61 "鹡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9E61 "鹡" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in written Chinese and related languages such as Japanese and Korean, and it represents a specific meaning within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph block. This character is a variant or simplified form of the character that refers to the "wagtail," a type of small, slender bird known for its long tail and characteristic bobbing motion, often found near water. In classical and modern texts, "鹡" can appear in compound terms or classical poetry, and its usage reflects the rich pictographic and phonetic components typical of many CJK characters, where the radical "鸟" (bird) indicates its avian association. As part of the Unicode standard, this ideograph enables digital representation and cross-platform text exchange for East Asian languages, preserving cultural and linguistic heritage through encoded typography.
