U+8730 "蜰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蜰

U+8730 "蜰" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that historically refers to a type of insect, often identified as a bedbug or a similar biting bug, and is composed of the radical for insect (虫) combined with the phonetic component 肥. In classical Chinese texts, it appears primarily in entomological or medical contexts, where it describes pests notorious for infesting bedding and causing discomfort. While not common in modern standard Chinese, this character preserves an ancient vocabulary for specific parasites and serves as a linguistic artifact in the study of Chinese character evolution and historical pest control literature.
