U+879D "螝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

螝

U+879D "螝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in both traditional and simplified written forms, with its pronunciation and meaning varying across historical and regional contexts. This ideograph is typically associated with the concept of a kind of insect or worm, often specifically referring to a type of moth or caterpillar, and appears in classical Chinese texts such as the Huainanzi and Zhuangzi where it describes a creature that undergoes metamorphosis. In modern usage, the character is rare and mostly encountered in literary or etymological studies rather than everyday language, and its Unicode encoding allows for digital representation and preservation of this obscure yet culturally significant glyph.
