U+9CF1 "鳱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9CF1 "鳱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that historically refers to a type of aquatic bird, often associated with the egret or a similar wading bird, and has been identified in classical dictionaries and texts as a variant or alternative form for certain bird-related characters. Its usage is primarily archaic, appearing in ancient literary works and lexicons rather than in modern Chinese or Japanese writing, and it falls under the radical for "bird" (鳥) with a specific phonetic component. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, this character is encoded for digital representation but rarely appears in everyday communication, making it of interest primarily to scholars of historical linguistics and paleography.
