U+879A "螚" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+879A "螚" CJK Unified Ideograph is a Chinese character with a relatively obscure or specialized usage, often found in classical or historical texts rather than modern standard language. It typically refers to a type of insect, particularly a kind of louse or tick, as its radical (虫) denotes insect or bug, while the phonetic component (能) suggests its pronunciation and contributes to its meaning through semantic extension. This character appears in ancient dictionaries and encyclopedias, sometimes glossed as a term for parasitic insects, but it is not commonly used in contemporary writing or digital communication.
