U+878A "螊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+878A "螊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character classified under the radical for insects or worms, typically pronounced "lián" in Mandarin. It historically refers to a type of shellfish or clam, as suggested by its composition of the "insect" radical combined with phonetic components, though its usage is now quite obscure and largely confined to classical or regional texts rather than modern standard Chinese.
