U+9F23 "鼣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
鼣
U+9F23 "鼣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure East Asian logogram that represents a term in classical Chinese. Historically, it appears in ancient texts and dictionaries, where its most noted definition is "the barking of a fox," referencing a specific sound or action associated with foxes in early Chinese literature and folklore. This character belongs to the set of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs, which standardize thousands of traditional and simplified characters for digital use. Its modern practical usage is extremely limited, primarily appearing in specialized lexicographical or paleographical contexts rather than in everyday writing or communication.
