U+9DF8 "鷸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+9DF8 "鷸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that refers to a type of shorebird, commonly known as the sandpiper or snipe, and is most famously used in the Chinese idiom "鷸蚌相爭" (yù bàng xiāng zhēng), which describes a conflict between a sandpiper and a clam that leads to both being caught by a third party. This character is pronounced as "yù" in Mandarin and its structure combines the "bird" radical (鳥) with phonetic and semantic elements hinting at notions of brightness or agility. In Classical Chinese texts, it appears in fables and natural histories to denote the bird's characteristic behavior of probing mud for food, while in modern usage it remains largely literary or specialized in ornithological contexts.
