U+86DE "蛞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蛞
U+86DE "蛞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji or hanzi) that represents the literary or species-specific term for a slug, particularly in the compound word "蛞蝓" (kuòyú), meaning slug or a type of slimy, shellless gastropod mollusk. It is composed of the radical 虫 (insect or creature) on the left, indicating its association with small animals or bugs, and the phonetic component 舌 (tongue) on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "kuò." This character is primarily used in specialized biological contexts, traditional Chinese texts, and when describing land slugs in East Asian languages, though it is less common in everyday modern conversation, where more general terms are often employed.
