U+872C "蜬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蜬
U+872C "蜬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character classified under the radical for insects (虫) and composed of 14 strokes, with a phonetic component derived from "han" or "gan" in reconstructed Middle Chinese. Found in classical texts rather than modern usage, it refers to a small bivalve mollusk, specifically a type of freshwater clam or mussel often described in ancient lexicons and ceremonial records as inhabiting rivers and lakes. Its inclusion in the Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs block preserves this obscure glyph for scholarly research, historical documentation, and digital representation of pre-modern Chinese literature.
