U+86FA "蛺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蛺

U+86FA "蛺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of butterfly, specifically the nymphalid or brush-footed butterfly, and is used in classical and modern standard Chinese as a component in words like "蛺蝶" meaning "butterfly." This character is composed of the insect radical "虫" on the left, indicating its association with insects, and the phonetic component "夾" on the right, which provides a clue to its pronunciation (pronounced "jia" or "xia" in Mandarin, depending on context). Historically, it appears in classical Chinese texts and is still recognized in modern usage, though it is less common than everyday characters. Its inclusion in the CJK Unified Ideographs block ensures compatibility across digital systems for writing Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages.
