U+8728 "蜨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蜨
U+8728 "蜨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that is classified under the radical for insects or worms (虫) and consists of 14 strokes in total. In modern Chinese, this character is notably archaic and rare, with its primary meaning referring to a type of butterfly, echoing an ancient variant or alternative form of the more common character 蝶 (dié, meaning butterfly). Its structure combines the insect radical with a phonetic component, and its usage is primarily seen in classical texts or specialized contexts rather than in everyday language.
