U+8726 "蜦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8726 "蜦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character classified under the Kangxi radical 142 for insects or worms, and it specifically refers to a mythical or legendary serpent-like creature that is often associated with dragons or water spirits in classical Chinese literature and folklore. This ideograph is composed of the radical 虫 (chong, meaning insect or reptile) on the left, and the phonetic component 仑 (lun) on the right, which suggests its pronunciation as "lún" in Mandarin. In historical texts, such as the Shanhaijing (Classic of Mountains and Seas), the 蜦 is depicted as a type of dragon that dwells in rivers or lakes, sometimes capable of controlling rain or floods, making it a symbol of aquatic power in ancient Chinese mythology.
