Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+689F "梟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally representing the concept of an owl, often specifically associated with the mythological or inauspicious owl seen as an omen in ancient East Asian culture. It also carries the extended meanings of "to expose heads in public" as a form of punishment, or "to be fierce and uncanny," due to the bird's nocturnal and predatory nature. Structurally, the character combines the "bird" radical (鳥) with a simplified phonetic or semantic element, and it is most commonly encountered in historical texts, literary contexts, or modern terms referring to owl species or figurative expressions of harshness.
