U+867B "虻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
虻
U+867B "虻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese and Japanese kanji that primarily refers to a gadfly or horsefly, an insect of the family Tabanidae known for biting livestock and humans. In Chinese, it is pronounced "méng" and often appears in classical texts and modern biological terminology to describe these bloodsucking flies. In Japanese, the character is read as "abu" and similarly denotes a horsefly, though it can also metaphorically represent a persistent, troublesome person. The character combines the radical "虫" (insect) with the phonetic component "亡," reflecting its categorization among insect-related ideographs.
