U+72BE "犾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+72BE "犾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi, Kangxi radical 94 "dog" or "animal") that historically refers to a type of wild beast or a fierce animal, often associated with the wolf or a similar canine predator. Its usage appears in classical Chinese texts and names, though it is rare in modern standard Mandarin and is not a commonly used character in everyday writing. The glyph combines the radical for dog (犭) with a phonetic component, reflecting its traditional lexical role in conveying a sense of untamed, predatory nature within the East Asian writing system.
