U+8779 "蝹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蝹

U+8779 "蝹" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) primarily used in classical or literary contexts, representing an ancient term associated with a type of insect or a wriggling, worm-like movement. Its structure combines the radical for insect (虫) with a phonetic component, and its earliest documented usage appears in historical dictionaries like the Kangxi Zidian, where it is defined as a creeping or squirming creature, possibly referencing a snake or larva. In modern Standard Mandarin, this character is largely obsolete and rarely used in everyday language, surviving mainly in specialized studies of classical texts or palaeography.
