U+877B "蝻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+877B "蝻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in modern and classical texts, where it refers to a specific type of insect, specifically the nymph or young stage of a locust, often called a "hopper" in entomological contexts. Structurally, it belongs to the radical 虫 (chong, meaning insect or creature) combined with a phonetic component that hints at its pronunciation. In usage, it appears in agricultural or historical writings discussing locust plagues and pest control, as well as in biological terminology for insect development stages. The character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and is encoded in Unicode to support cross-language text representation, with related variant forms existing in traditional and simplified Chinese scripts.
