U+86AF "蚯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蚯
U+86AF "蚯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to an earthworm, commonly used in compounds like 蚯蚓 (qiūyǐn). This ideograph belongs to the radical 虫 (insect or worm) and is found in both traditional and simplified Chinese writing systems, where it denotes the elongated, burrowing annelid that is ecologically important for soil aeration and fertility. In classical literature and agricultural contexts, the character appears in descriptions of nature and earthworm behavior, while in modern usage it is largely limited to biological and compound terms.
