U+871B "蜛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+871B "蜛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) from the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) block, meaning it is used in traditional and simplified Chinese writing systems as well as occasionally in Japanese and Korean. This character is composed of the radical for "insect" or "worm" (虫) on the left, indicating a creature or bug, and the phonetic component on the right, which contributes to its pronunciation and meaning. Specifically, "蜛" (pronounced jū in Mandarin) refers to a type of marine animal, such as a small crab or a similar crustacean, often found in classical or zoological texts. It is a relatively rare character, appearing primarily in specialized vocabulary related to biology or historical literature, and it may be used in place names or traditional compounds rather than in everyday modern writing.
