U+9E89 "麉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
麉
U+9E89 "麉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that historically referred to a type of deer or elk, specifically one associated with the idea of a "strong" or "powerful" stag, and it shares etymological and visual roots with other deer-related characters such as 麋 (mi, elk) and 鹿 (lu, deer). This ideograph is primarily found in classical Chinese texts and ancient dictionaries like the Kangxi Zidian, where it is defined with nuanced meanings including a male deer with large antlers or a creature of mythical strength, though it is virtually unused in modern standard Mandarin and appears far more frequently in historical or literary contexts than in everyday communication.
