U+866B "虫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
虫
U+866B "虫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (CJK, or Chinese-Japanese-Korean) that primarily means "insect," "bug," or "worm" and serves as a common radical in many other characters related to creeping creatures or crawling things. In its ancient form, it originally depicted a snake, but its meaning later broadened to encompass small, wriggling animals. It is frequently used in words like "昆虫" (kunchong, meaning insect) and "虫子" (chongzi, meaning bug), and its simplified form is a core component in the writing systems of both Chinese and Japanese.
