U+96DE "雞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character representing the word for "chicken" or "fowl." This ideograph is commonly used in traditional Chinese writing, such as in Taiwan and Hong Kong, while its simplified counterpart "鸡" (U+9E21) is standard in mainland China. The character is composed of components that historically relate to a bird and a phonetic element, reflecting its roots in ancient script development. In modern usage, it appears in various contexts including zodiac signs: the Year of the Rooster, culinary terms, and idioms such as “雞犬不寧” meaning extreme disturbance where even the chickens and dogs are not at peace.
