U+8768 "蝨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蝨
U+8768 "蝨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily denotes a louse, specifically a parasitic insect that infests humans and animals, and in classical texts it often appears in metaphors for smallness or pestilence. This character combines the radical for insect 虫 with a phonetic component, and it is used in modern Chinese, Japanese, and Korean contexts, though it appears more frequently in literary or specialized terminology rather than everyday speech. In historical Chinese literature, the character can also represent a general sense of vermin or nuisance, reflecting its connection to ideas of impurity and discomfort.
