U+866D "虭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+866D "虭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character that combines the radical for "tiger" (虍) with the phonetic component "刀" (meaning knife or blade), and its historical meanings vary across ancient texts. In classical Chinese, "虭" has been interpreted as a term for the roar or growl of a tiger, though some sources suggest it may also refer to a mythical or stylized depiction of a tiger-like creature. This character is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese, appearing instead in specialized lexicons or historical manuscripts, and its encoding in Unicode helps preserve a fragment of premodern Sino graphy and phonology for digital and scholarly access.
