U+9E3B "鸻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+9E3B "鸻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in traditional and simplified Chinese writing, where it represents a type of bird, specifically the plover, a small to medium-sized shorebird known for its short beak and long legs, often found near water. This ideograph combines the radical for "bird" (鸟) with a phonetic component, reflecting its meaning and pronunciation, which is generally pronounced "héng" in Mandarin. Its usage appears in zoological contexts, classical literature, and modern writing when referring to this bird species, though it is less common in everyday vocabulary compared to more frequently used characters.
