U+9F5B "齛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+9F5B "齛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that historically refers to a specific type of animal, often identified as a white-colored sheep or a variety of ram, and it appears in classical texts and lexicons as a specialized term rather than a word in common modern usage. Its structure combines the radical for "tooth" or "fang" (齒) with a phonetic component, reflecting the traditional method of composing Chinese characters to convey both meaning and pronunciation. While not part of everyday vocabulary, this character is included in the CJK Unified Ideographs block to preserve the full range of historical and literary symbols in the Unicode standard.
