U+8686 "蚆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蚆
U+8686 "蚆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character composed of the radical for insect or worm on the left and the phonetic component "巴" on the right, and it primarily refers to a type of marine bivalve mollusk, specifically a kind of clam or oyster, often encountered in classical Chinese texts and regional dialects. In modern usage, it is less common in standard Mandarin but may appear in specialized or historical contexts related to shellfish or in the names of certain species. Its Unicode designation places it within the block of East Asian ideographs, encoding a symbol that bridges linguistic heritage and biological nomenclature.
