U+9E1C "鸜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
U+9E1C "鸜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and traditional Chinese character representing a type of bird, often specifically referring to the crested myna or a similar avian species. It is composed of the radical for "bird" (鳥) combined with a phonetic component, and it appears in classical literature and historical texts rather than in modern everyday usage. This character is particularly notable for being used in the ancient name of the legendary philosopher Zhuangzi's homeland, where it appears in the place name "鸜鵲" (Qúquè, an old name for a region in present-day Shandong province). Due to its complexity and rarity, it is seldom found in digital fonts or standard Chinese character sets, making it a subject of interest for Unicode enthusiasts and scholars of classical East Asian script.
