U+9DC5 "鷅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9DC5 "鷅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that represents a specific type of bird, often identified as a kind of oriole or a bird with yellow plumage, though its exact ornithological reference can vary in classical texts. This character is rarely used in modern standard Chinese, appearing more frequently in ancient literature or poetry where it denotes a colorful, songbird-like creature. It is composed of the radical for “bird” (鳥) on the left and the phonetic component “栗” on the right, which suggests a pronunciation similar to “lì” in Mandarin. As part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, it shares its encoding with other East Asian languages, where it may carry similar or variant meanings, but it remains an uncommon, specialized term with limited contemporary usage.
