U+871D "蜝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+871D "蜝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that generally represents a type of small crustacean or insect, often specifically referring to a kind of freshwater shrimp or a small crab, and it can be found in classical Chinese literary works and regional dialects. Its structure combines the radical for "insect" or "worm" (虫) with the phonetic component "其" (qí), indicating a sound and a semantic link to small aquatic creatures. This character is notably used in the historical text "Records of the Three Kingdoms" in the term "蜝蜇" to describe a stinging marine organism, and it remains a part of written Chinese, though it is not commonly used in modern everyday language.
