U+86F1 "蛱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蛱
U+86F1 "蛱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that typically functions as a component in traditional and simplified Chinese writing, often referring to a type of butterfly or insect, specifically known as "jia" in pinyin. It appears in compound words such as "蛱蝶" (jia die), meaning "brush-footed butterfly," and is used in classical and modern texts related to entomology or nature. The character is composed of the radical for "worm" or "insect" (虫) and the phonetic element "夹" (jia), which suggests its pronunciation and ties it to lexicographical categories within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified character set, representing a shared cultural heritage in East Asian typography.
