U+8720 "蜠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蜠

U+8720 "蜠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex character from the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) ideographic block, representing a specific type of clam or bivalve mollusk, often associated with the character for "clam" or "mussel" in classical texts. Its structure combines the radical for "insect" or "creature" (虫) with a phonetic component derived from "round" or "circle" (囷), suggesting a meaning related to a shellfish with a rounded shell. This character appears primarily in historical Chinese dictionaries and specialized lexicons rather than in modern common usage, and its usage is largely confined to scholarly references or ancient literature, where it denotes a small aquatic creature found in rivers or seas.
