U+79BC "禼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
禼
U+79BC "禼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that primarily functions as a component in other characters rather than as a standalone word in modern usage. Historically, it is associated with the ancient concept of "蠮螉," a type of small, parasitic wasp, and in Chinese etymology, it is often treated as a phonetic or semantic element within compound ideographs. This character is not commonly used in contemporary writing or conversation, and its pronunciation is typically given as "xiè" in Mandarin, though its exact meaning and usage remain obscure and largely confined to classical texts or specialized dictionaries.
