U+9F38 "鼸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9F38 "鼸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character that historically refers to a type of small rodent or field mouse, specifically one associated with burrowing or gathering behavior, as its components combine the radical for "mouse" or "rat" with phonetic and semantic elements suggesting enclosure or accumulation. This character is not commonly used in modern standard Chinese, Japanese, or Korean, but it appears in classical Chinese texts and dictionaries, where it describes an animal similar to a hamster or vole known for storing food in its cheek pouches or underground nests. Its encoding in Unicode ensures that scholars, linguists, and digital archivists can accurately represent and preserve this ancient term in electronic documents and historical databases.
