U+876C "蝬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蝬
U+876C "蝬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used traditional Chinese character classified under the radical for insects or worms. Its primary meaning refers to a type of aquatic creature, often considered synonymous with the "clam" or a small freshwater shellfish in classical texts. This character appears in some ancient Chinese dictionaries and literary works, but it has fallen out of common usage in modern written Chinese, where simpler characters like 蚌 (bàng for clam) are preferred.
