U+8694 "蚔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蚔
U+8694 "蚔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or historical Chinese character that falls under the radical for insects or worms, as suggested by its graphical component "虫" (chong). While its precise meaning is not widely attested in modern standard Mandarin, it appears in some classical or specialized contexts, potentially referring to a type of insect or a phonetic loan. As a CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph, it shares its encoding across these languages, though its usage in contemporary texts is minimal. Its rarity makes it a point of interest for Unicode historians, digital typography, and scholars of ancient or obscure Chinese characters.
