U+8704 "蜄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蜄
U+8704 "蜄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in traditional and simplified writing, primarily functioning as a variant of the character 蜃 (shèn), which refers to a mythical sea creature or a giant clam, often associated with mirages or the belief that its breath could create illusions. In classical Chinese texts, it may denote a clam or a type of mollusk, though its usage is rare in modern context. The character is composed of a semantic component related to insects or creatures (虫) and a phonetic element, reflecting its classification within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideograph block.
