U+72D9 "狙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+72D9 "狙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that historically means "to spy" or "to watch," and in its most common modern usage it denotes a "sniper" or "sharpshooter" as seen in the word 狙击手. As a logogram composed of the radical for dog or beast (犭) on the left and the phonetic component 且 on the right, it originally referred in classical texts to a type of cunning monkey or ape, but its semantic range has shifted over time to emphasize ambush and precise targeting. In contemporary East Asian languages such as Chinese and Japanese, this character is primarily associated with military or tactical contexts, particularly the role of a concealed marksman.
