U+86EB "蛫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蛫
U+86EB "蛫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that, in modern usage, is primarily known as a variant form of the character for "turtle" or "tortoise," often interchangeable with 龜 (guī) in certain contexts. Its structure combines the radical for insect or reptile (虫) with a phonetic component, and in classical texts it sometimes appears as an alternative in the names of mythical creatures or specific species. The character is rare in everyday writing, but it holds value for historical and paleographic studies of Chinese script, reflecting regional or stylistic variations in the development of the writing system.
