U+86C0 "蛀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蛀
U+86C0 "蛀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "to bore into" or "to gnaw," often referring to the damage caused by insects such as moths or woodworms, as in the term "蛀牙" (tooth decay) or "蛀蟲" (wood-boring insect). Structurally, it combines the radical 虫 (insect or worm) on the left, indicating its association with small creatures, and the component 主 on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation. This character is commonly used in both traditional and simplified Chinese writing to describe the act of pests damaging materials like wood, books, or clothing, and it appears in medical terms for dental cavities.
