U+8716 "蜖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蜖
U+8716 "蜖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in traditional and simplified writing, representing a specific ideograph within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified script system. Its meaning is relatively obscure but is associated with an archaic or rare term, often defined as a type of worm or insect, or in some contexts, linked to the concept of returning or revolving, though it is not commonly used in modern language. The character is composed of the radical for "insect" (虫) and a phonetic component, and it appears in classical texts or specialized vocabularies rather than everyday communication.
