U+9E6C "鹬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9E6C "鹬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents a sandpiper or snipe, a type of shorebird commonly found in wetlands and marshes. This character is also known for its role in the classic Chinese idiom "鹬蚌相争" (yù bàng xiāng zhēng), which describes a conflict between a sandpiper and a clam, ultimately leading to both being caught by a fisherman, symbolizing the folly of allowing mutual strife to benefit a third party. In modern usage, "鹬" is primarily encountered in literary, historical, or ornithological contexts rather than everyday conversation.
