U+868D "蚍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蚍

U+868D "蚍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of ant, specifically the "pismire" or small brown ant, and is often used in classical Chinese literature as a metaphor for something insignificant or minuscule, such as in the compound "蚍蜉" (pí fú), which denotes an ant or suggests great strength in small numbers. Its stroke count and phonetic component align with traditional Kangxi radical 142 (虫, insect), and it is uncommonly used in modern Chinese, appearing mostly in historical texts or poetic expressions emphasizing humility or the power of collective effort.
