U+86A3 "蚣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+86A3 "蚣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of centipede, specifically the "蜈蚣" (wúgōng), a venomous arthropod commonly known in English as the centipede. This character is composed of the radical "虫" (insect or worm) on the left, indicating its association with bugs or small creatures, and the phonetic component "公" (gōng) on the right, which hints at its pronunciation in Mandarin Chinese. In traditional East Asian culture, the centipede represented by this character often appears in folklore and traditional medicine, where it is sometimes used for its supposed curative properties, though it is also regarded as a pest due to its venomous bite. The character "蚣" is thus a specific term within the broader CJK unified ideograph system, supporting written communication across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages where it may appear in classical or biological contexts.
