U+876B "蝫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蝫
U+876B "蝫" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) traditionally pronounced "zhu" in Mandarin, which historically refers to a type of insect or aquatic creature, often identified as a kind of frog or toad in ancient texts. This character falls within the Unicode CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encodes characters common to Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, though "蝫" is rare in modern usage and appears primarily in classical literature or specialized dictionaries. Its structure combines the radical 虫 (insect/creature) with the phonetic component 者 (zhe), reflecting the logographic nature of Chinese script where meaning and sound are often intertwined.
