U+86BB "蚻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蚻

U+86BB "蚻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character primarily found in classical or historical texts, not commonly used in modern Mandarin or everyday writing. Structurally, it combines the radical for "insect" (虫) with a phonetic component, and its traditional meaning is associated with a type of small insect or bug, often identified specifically as a "cicada-like insect" in ancient lexicons such as the Shuowen Jiezi. Due to its obscurity, this character is largely absent from contemporary digital communication, although it persists in specialized linguistic studies, historical documents, or character databases for encoding completeness.
