蜮
U+872E "蜮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character representing a mythical creature often described as a venomous, toad-like or turtle-shaped water monster in ancient Chinese folklore, believed to spit sand or spray venom from the water to harm humans, typically by casting shadows or causing illness. It is also associated with the concept of hidden malice or treachery, and the term "鬼蜮" (guǐ yù) derived from it refers to insidious, underhanded evil forces. In modern usage, this character appears primarily in classical texts, literary references, and discussions of Chinese mythology, rather than in everyday language.
