U+9D23 "鴣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+9D23 "鴣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents a type of bird, specifically the partridge or a similar game bird, often found in East Asian contexts. This ideograph is composed of two main components: the radical "鳥" on the left, meaning bird, and the phonetic element "古" on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation, read as "gu" in Mandarin. In classical and modern usage, "鴣" commonly appears in compound terms such as "鷓鴣," which refers to the Chinese francolin or partridge, a bird associated with hunting and depicted in poetry and art for its distinctive call. The character is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, encoding traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, and is primarily used in formal or literary contexts rather than everyday conversation.
