U+6BE4 "毤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+6BE4 "毤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and somewhat obscure Chinese character that combines the radical for "fur" or "hair" (毛) with the phonetic component 兌, which suggests a connection to the act of changing or shedding. Its primary meaning relates to the molting or shedding of feathers or fur, often used in classical texts to describe the natural process where birds or animals lose old plumage or hair to make way for new growth. This character appears in ancient Chinese literature, but it is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin, making it a specialized term known mainly to scholars of classical Chinese or those studying historical zoological or biological terminology.
