U+5912 "夒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+5912 "夒" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character that originally depicted a type of ancient monkey or ape, often identified with a mythical creature known for its long arms and ability to climb. Its structure combines the radical for "claw" or "hand" with elements suggesting movement or animal form, and it appears in early Chinese texts such as the Shuowen Jiezi dictionary, where it is referenced in the context of legendary beasts or as a phonetic component in later characters. Due to its obscurity, the character is seldom used in modern Chinese writing and is primarily of interest to paleographers and linguists studying the evolution of script.
