U+9F3C "鼼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9F3C "鼼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and largely obsolete Chinese character that appears to be a variant form of the character 鼼 or possibly a scribal error, with its precise meaning and usage being obscure even in classical Chinese texts. It belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encompasses characters used in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese writing systems, though this specific character is not commonly found in modern dictionaries or standard language databases. Based on its radical and structural components, it is thought to relate to the concept of "nose" or "snout," as its left radical is 鼻 (bí, meaning nose), but its infrequency means that it is primarily of interest to specialists in historical Chinese philology or those studying rare script forms.
