U+96DF "雟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+96DF "雟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that primarily appears in classical or historical texts, with its traditional meaning associated with a type of bird, often identified as a species of cuckoo or a small bird with a distinctive call. In some contexts, it is also used as a phonetic component or variant in place names and personal names, particularly in ancient literature. The character is composed of the radical for "bird" (隹) and the phonetic element "虍" (hǔ, meaning tiger) combined with other strokes, reflecting its logographic structure typical of complex CJK characters. Due to its infrequent modern usage, it is not included in common character sets for simplified Chinese and is mainly encountered in specialized linguistic or historical research.
