U+9B04 "鬄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9B04 "鬄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) classified under the "CJK Unified Ideographs" block, which serves as a standardized encoding for East Asian scripts. This character, pronounced "tì" in Mandarin, is a traditional and relatively rare logogram that historically conveyed meanings related to cutting, shaving, or trimming hair, often specifically referring to the action of shaving the head or beard as a form of ritual or punishment in ancient China. It is composed of the radical "髟" (long hair) on top, indicating a semantic connection to hair, and the phonetic component "易" below, which provides a clue to its pronunciation. Today, while not common in everyday modern Chinese text, it remains a part of classical literature, historical texts, and dictionary studies, reflecting the nuanced lexical heritage of the Chinese writing system.
