U+86ED "蛭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蛭
U+86ED "蛭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that represents the concept of a "leech" or "bloodsucker," specifically a type of segmented worm in traditional East Asian contexts. In modern usage, it appears in compound words related to leeches or, by extension, to describe something that clings or drains, such as in medical or figurative language. The character is composed of the "insect" radical (虫) on the left, indicating its association with small creatures, and a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation as "zhì" in Mandarin.
