U+8691 "蚑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蚑

U+8691 "蚑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes a type of small insect or worm, often associated with the larvae of certain beetles or the wriggling movement of creepy crawlies. In ancient and modern Chinese texts, it can refer specifically to a grub or a crawling creature, and it appears in compound words like 蚑蚑, which describes the squirming motion of insects. Its radical 虫 (insect) combines with the phonetic component 支, situating it within the broader set of zoological characters in East Asian scripts, used in both literary and biological contexts to describe invertebrate life.
