U+9E3A "鸺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character representing a type of small owl, specifically a member of the Strigidae family, and is pronounced "xiū" in Mandarin. Its radical is "鸟" (bird), and it appears in classical texts to denote the scops owl or similar nocturnal birds of prey. In modern usage, it is less common but persists in specialized contexts such as zoology, classical literature, and personal names, particularly within Chinese and Japanese typographic systems that share CJK encoded characters.
