U+9F91 "龑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

龑

U+9F91 "龑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that combines the radical for dragon (龍) with the component for sky or heaven (天), and its meaning is traditionally associated with "soaring" or "flying high," often used to describe the lofty flight of a dragon in classical texts. It is most famously associated with the historical figure Liu Yan, a ruler during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period in China, who created and adopted this character for his personal name to symbolize his imperial ambition and divine connection. As a result, this character is not commonly used in modern Chinese but remains a notable example of a rare, self-made ideograph in the history of Chinese writing.
