U+72B8 "犸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+72B8 "犸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character composed of the radical 犭 (animal-related, usually denoting a beast) and the phonetic component 马 (meaning horse). It is primarily used in Mandarin Chinese, where it forms part of the word 猛犸 (měngmǎ), which translates to "mammoth" or specifically the extinct woolly mammoth. Consequently, this character is not commonly encountered in everyday modern Chinese outside of zoological or paleontological contexts, and its usage is largely confined to referring to that prehistoric creature.
