U+86D4 "蛔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蛔

U+86D4 "蛔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of parasitic roundworm, specifically the Ascaris lumbricoides, which infests the intestines of humans and animals, causing the condition known as ascariasis. In traditional Chinese medicine and literature, this character appears in contexts discussing parasitic infections and treatments, as well as in poetic references symbolizing internal corruption or hidden troubles. Its structure combines the radical for insect or worm on the left side, indicating its biological association, with a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation as "huí" in Mandarin. The character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, used across various East Asian writing systems with consistent meaning related to roundworms.
