U+72F2 "狲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+72F2 "狲" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a less common Chinese character that historically refers to a type of monkey or a macaque, often specifically the "sun" monkey or a similar primate in classical texts. It is part of the Kangxi radical 94 (犬, meaning dog or animal), suggesting its association with animals, and appears in traditional literature and dictionaries as an alternate or variant form related to the word "猢狲", which colloquially means monkey. In modern usage, it is infrequently seen in everyday written Chinese but may appear in historical or zoological contexts, and it is encoded in the Unicode standard as part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs block, which aims to support the legible representation of East Asian scripts in digital environments.
