U+9F39 "鼹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

鼹

U+9F39 "鼹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideograph block, which in Chinese and Japanese primarily denotes a "mole" or "shrew" or specifically refers to the genus of small burrowing mammals known as moles. This character is composed of a semantic radical related to "rat" or "mouse" on the left, indicating its connection to small rodents or insectivores, and a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation. It appears in modern and classical texts, often in biological or literary contexts, such as the Chinese compound "鼹鼠" (yǎnshǔ) for "mole," and is also used in Japanese for similar meanings. The glyph's structure and meaning reflect its origin in early Chinese script, where it was used to describe the distinctive digging animal known for its underground habitat.
