U+8C91 "貑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8C91 "貑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used traditional Chinese character that historically referred to a type of animal, often identified with the badger or a similar wild beast, and is associated with the radical for "beast" or "dog" (豸) combined with a phonetic component suggesting a male or ancestral connection. Its usage is primarily encountered in classical Chinese texts and lexicons, such as the Kangxi Dictionary, where it is noted as a variant or cognate of other characters like 貔, though it has largely fallen out of common modern writing. In Unicode, it is encoded within the CJK Unified Ideographs block, serving to preserve this obscure glyph for digital representation and scholarly study.
