U+6634 "昴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+6634 "昴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character pronounced mǎo in Mandarin, known primarily as the name for the Pleiades star cluster in Chinese astronomy and astrology. This ideograph is composed of the radical for "sun" or "day" (日) above the phonetic component 卯, and it appears in classical texts such as the Confucian Analects, where it refers to the Mansion of the Pleiades, one of the 28 lunar mansions in the Chinese zodiac. In addition to its astronomical usage, the character can denote a hairless tail or tufted tail in certain contexts, though its most recognized application remains tied to celestial symbolism. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs, it is encoded for digital representation across multiple East Asian writing systems.
