U+9E18 "鸘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9E18 "鸘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that represents a type of large bird, specifically a kind of crane or heron-like avian. Its traditional Chinese form is 鸘, which appears in classical texts and is used primarily in literary or historical contexts rather than in modern everyday language. This character is composed of the radical for bird (鳥) and a phonetic component that suggests its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is typically read as "shuāng." As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it is included for compatibility with East Asian written traditions, where each character carries specific semantic and phonological significance within the system of Chinese script.
