U+72AC "犬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+72AC "犬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram representing the Chinese character for "dog," which is also used in Japanese and Korean as part of the shared CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) script. This character dates back to ancient oracle bone script, where it was pictographically derived from a side view of a canine, featuring a curved body, tail, and legs. In modern usage, "犬" appears both as an independent word meaning "dog" and as a radical or component in other characters, such as in "吠" (bark) or "狩" (hunt), where it conveys meanings related to dogs or canine behavior. Its Unicode classification places it in the CJK Unified Ideographs block, ensuring consistent digital representation across East Asian languages and systems.
