U+8769 "蝩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8769 "蝩" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character traditionally classified under the radical 142 (虫, meaning insect). Its historical pronunciation and meaning are linked to the word for a type of insect or locust, specifically appearing in classical texts such as the Erya, an ancient Chinese dictionary, where it refers to a kind of silkworm or pest. In modern usage, it is extremely obscure and seldom used in contemporary Chinese, Japanese, or Korean writing, making it primarily of interest to historical linguistics, paleography, and digital text encoding.
