U+8771 "蝱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蝱
U+8771 "蝱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that historically refers to a type of horsefly or gadfly, an insect known for biting livestock and humans. Its radical is 虫 (insect) on the left, indicating its connection to bugs and small creatures, while the right component 亡 contributes to the pronunciation and meaning related to "dying" or "perishing," possibly alluding to the fly's association with disease or annoyance. In classical Chinese texts, this character appears in literature and poetry as a symbol of pestilence or persistent disturbance, and it remains in use in modern dictionaries for its specific entomological reference.
