U+86D9 "蛙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蛙
U+86D9 "蛙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram representing the Chinese character for "frog" or "toad," commonly used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. This ideograph combines the radical for "insect" or "creature" (虫) with a phonetic component (圭) to convey its meaning and pronunciation. In Chinese mythology and literature, the frog often symbolizes fertility, rebirth, and good fortune, while in Japanese culture, it is associated with safe travel due to a pun on the word "kaeru" meaning "to return." The character appears in classical texts, modern writing, and compound words like 青蛙 (qīng wā) meaning "green frog" in Chinese, reflecting its enduring role in cultural and linguistic expression.
