U+8780 "螀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
螀
U+8780 "螀" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or historically used Chinese character that generally refers to a type of insect, often associated with locusts or similar pests, as suggested by its radical "虫" meaning bug or insect. It appears in classical Chinese texts and may also serve as a component in more complex or specific terms within the Eastern Han lexicographical tradition, such as in the Shuowen Jiezi, but it is not commonly used in modern everyday Chinese writing, making it a specialized or archaic glyph within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) repertoire.
