U+8711 "蜑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蜑
U+8711 "蜑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese logogram primarily referencing the Dan, or Tanka, people, an ethnic subgroup historically living on boats and along the southern coasts of China. Pictographically composed of the insect radical 虫 over the character 蛋, which suggests an egg, the ideograph originally denoted a type of venomous insect or reptile in ancient texts, but its meaning shifted over centuries to represent the marginalized maritime community known for their sea-based livelihood. In modern usage, the character can appear in historical or anthropological contexts, though it has also carried pejorative connotations in some regions when applied to the Dan people.
