U+8673 "虳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
虳
U+8673 "虳" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that combines the radical for "insect" or "worm" (虫) with a phonetic component often associated with the sound "zhuó" or "jué." It is historically attested in classical Chinese dictionaries such as the "Kangxi Dictionary" where it is defined as a type of insect or venomous creature, sometimes specifically referencing a parasitic worm or a mythical biting bug. Due to its extreme rarity in modern usage, it does not appear in common Chinese text corpora or standard computing fonts, and it is primarily of interest to scholars of ancient script, character etymology, or specialized Unicode documentation for historical and linguistic preservation.
