U+8743 "蝃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蝃

U+8743 "蝃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character composed of the radical for insect or worm on the left and the phonetic component "夂" on the right. Historically, this character is known to refer to a type of mythical creature or insect, specifically identified in classical Chinese texts as the "earthworm" or a similar burrowing worm, though its usage is extremely obscure and largely confined to ancient lexicons such as the Kangxi Dictionary. In modern Chinese and Japanese, it is not a standard or commonly encountered character.
