Unicode Version 17.0
蜷
U+8737 "蜷" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in both traditional and simplified writing systems, primarily meaning "to curl up," "to coil," or "to huddle," often describing the posture of an animal or person drawing their limbs close to the body, such as a curled-up cat or a sleeping person. Its radical is 虫 (insect), suggesting an original association with the way worms or caterpillars bend their bodies, and it appears in classical literature as well as modern usage in words like 蜷缩 (to curl up) and 蜷伏 (to lie curled).
