U+86C3 "蛃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+86C3 "蛃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that falls under the radical for insects or reptiles, often associated with small crawling creatures. In modern usage, it is a relatively rare character, but historical dictionaries define it as a type of insect, sometimes specifically referencing a water insect or a beetle-like creature. Its traditional composition combines the insect radical with a phonetic component, and it appears in classical Chinese texts as part of the rich lexicon for describing wildlife. While not commonly used in everyday writing, it remains a valid part of the Unicode standard for representing historical and specialist CJK vocabulary.
