U+9E72 "鹲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9E72 "鹲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that refers to a type of aquatic bird, specifically a cormorant or similar diving bird often associated with maritime contexts, and it carries a secondary figurative meaning related to a branch of a certain tree or a mythical creature in classical texts. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, encoded for digital representation across East Asian writing systems, though it is considered a rare or less commonly used character in modern standard Chinese. Its structure combines a semantic component related to birds (鸟) with a phonetic element (蒙) to convey both meaning and sound, reflecting the logographic principles of CJK script composition.
