Definition
奇特 (qítè) describes something strikingly unusual or peculiar, often in a way that catches attention — it can be neutral or even positive. 离奇 (líqí) is stronger, meaning 'bizarre, fantastic, incredible' (especially in stories), while 蹊跷 (qīqiao) implies something is suspicious or not right. 别致 (biézhì) is a more positive synonym for 'unique and interesting'.
