U+86B8 "蚸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蚸

U+86B8 "蚸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) belonging to the Kangxi radical 142, which corresponds to "insect" or "worm," and it is classified under the broader category of CJK Unified Ideographs for East Asian languages. This character is rare in modern usage, but it appears in classical Chinese texts with a primary meaning related to a type of millipede or myriapod, often specifically referring to the "horse centipede" or a similar arthropod known for its many legs. Its composition combines the "insect" radical with the phonetic component "斥" (chi), indicating both its semantic field and approximate ancient pronunciation.
