U+9F2C "鼬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes a weasel or ferret, often associated with the weasel's cunning and mischievous nature in East Asian culture. In Chinese, Japanese, and Korean usage, it appears in compound words and contexts related to animals, folklore, or natural history. The character is composed of radical components that hint at its meaning, such as the "rat" or "mouse" radical, reflecting the weasel's ecological role as a rodent predator. Its pronunciation varies by language, being "yòu" in Mandarin Chinese and "itachi" in Japanese, where it also evokes mythical beliefs about the creature's supernatural abilities.
