U+9E9B "麛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

麛

U+9E9B "麛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and classical Chinese character that represents a young deer or fawn, specifically one in its first year of life. This ideograph is composed of the radical for deer, 鹿, combined with the phonetic element 米, which hints at the character's pronunciation and also evokes the early, tender nature of the animal, as 米 can symbolize something small or growing into maturity. Historically used in ancient texts and poetry, the term "麛" often appears in contexts describing the spring season, hunting rituals, or the natural world, emphasizing the vulnerability and innocence of newborn wildlife. Though infrequently used in modern Chinese or Japanese writing, it remains a meaningful part of the CJK shared character set, illustrating the rich linguistic tradition of categorizing animals by age and growth stage.
