U+86C4 "蛄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蛄
U+86C4 "蛄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in both traditional and simplified writing systems, primarily representing a type of insect. It is most commonly associated with the term "蝼蛄" (lóugū), which refers to the mole cricket, a burrowing insect known for its large forelimbs adapted for digging. In classical and modern Chinese, the character appears in agricultural contexts, often describing pests that damage crop roots, but it also carries symbolic meanings in idioms related to insignificance or underground activity. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is "gū" or "gǔ" depending on context, and it is a component in other compound words involving insects or small creatures.
