U+8677 "虷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

虷

U+8677 "虷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) classified under the radical for "insect" or "worm" (虫), with a total of 9 strokes, though it is considered a rare or archaic glyph. Its traditional reading in Mandarin is "hán" or "gān," and one of its classical definitions refers to a type of insect mentioned in ancient texts, often identified as an earthworm or a small burrowing worm. Historically, it appears in works like the Erya, one of the oldest Chinese dictionaries, as a term for various crawling creatures. In modern usage, this character is largely obsolete and seldom appears in contemporary literature or daily communication, making it a point of interest primarily for etymology enthusiasts and scholars of ancient Chinese script.
