U+9F2E "鼮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9F2E "鼮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that refers to a type of rare or mythical animal described in classical texts, often associated with the idea of a swift or fierce beast, sometimes interpreted as a kind of leopard or panther with distinct markings. This character is composed of the radical "鼠" (mouse or rat) on the left, suggesting a rodent-like or mammalian association, and the phonetic component "廷" (ting) on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. Its usage is primarily historical and literary, appearing in ancient Chinese dictionaries and works such as the Erya, where it is listed among unusual creatures, though it is not commonly used in modern writing. The character thus serves as a scholarly artifact that illustrates the depth and complexity of traditional Chinese lexicography and zoological nomenclature.
