U+878E "螎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
螎
U+878E "螎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or obsolete Chinese character, primarily found in historical or classical texts, that belongs to the radical for "insect" (虫) and appears in the Kangxi Dictionary. Its exact meaning is uncertain in modern usage, though it is often considered a variant or alternate form of other characters, possibly related to concepts of merging or flowing, as its components suggest a connection to water or insects. Without frequent contemporary application, the character holds primarily academic or paleographic interest, representing the complexity and depth of the traditional CJK writing system.
