U+878C "螌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+878C "螌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that belongs to the Kangxi radical 142, meaning "insect" or "worm," and is classified as a rare or obsolete character in modern Chinese. Historically, it refers to a type of venomous snake or a legendary poisonous creature, often associated with the concept of a "poisonous worm" in classical texts and traditional Chinese folklore. Its usage is primarily found in ancient literature, such as in descriptions of exotic or dangerous animals, and it holds no common modern application in everyday writing or speech. The character is composed of the "insect" radical on the left and the phonetic component "盤" (pán) on the right, reflecting a typical compound structure in Chinese character formation.
