U+875B "蝛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蝛
U+875B "蝛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (Hanzi) that also appears in Japanese Kanji and Korean Hanja, primarily referring to a type of small, venomous sea snail or shelled marine creature, often associated with the species commonly known as the "dog whelk" or similar mollusks. Its radical is 虫 (insect or creature), and its phonetic component is 威 (wēi), which contributes to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "wēi". The character is used in classical Chinese texts and natural history contexts, though it is considered rare in modern everyday usage, typically found in specialized zoological or literary references.
