U+8789 "螉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
螉
U+8789 "螉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph that refers to a type of parasitic insect, specifically a botfly or gadfly, and is also used in classical texts to denote a small, biting fly that infests livestock. In modern usage, it is a rare character mostly encountered in historical or literary contexts, often as part of compound terms or in transcriptions of ancient names. Its structure combines the radical for "insect" (虫) with the phonetic component "翁" (wēng), reflecting its semantic and sound-based composition within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) writing system.
