U+8764 "蝤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蝤
U+8764 "蝤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally pronounced as "qiú" in Mandarin, which originally refers to a type of insect or larva, particularly associated with the longhorn beetle or a similar wood-boring grub. In classical texts, it appears in compound terms like "蝤蛴" (qiúqí), which describes a beetle larva and is often used metaphorically in poetry to depict a woman’s fair, slender neck, as seen in the ancient work the Book of Songs. This character belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and carries both biological and literary connotations within the context of traditional East Asian culture.
