蛣
U+86E3 "蛣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in classical and modern written Chinese, primarily representing a type of beetle or insect, often associated with the "dung beetle" or "sacred scarab" in ancient contexts. In the "Kangxi Dictionary" and other classical lexicons, it is defined as a small insect that rolls balls of dung, known as "蛣蜣" (jieqiang) in Chinese, which corresponds to the scarab beetle. This character belongs to the radical 虫 (insect) and has a pronunciation generally read as "jié" in Mandarin, though it is now rarely used in everyday language, appearing more frequently in literary or historical texts referencing natural history or mythology.
