About
The character "鸸" was created specifically for the term "鸸鹋" representing the emu, constructed as a phono-semantic compound where the simplified form incorporates "而" as a phonetic element and "鸟" as the semantic radical denoting bird, while its traditional counterpart "鴯" uses "兒" for sound and "鳥" for meaning, with both forms solely used to denote this particular bird without developing other meanings.
