U+87A3 "螣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
螣
U+87A3 "螣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally refers to a mythical flying dragon or serpent, often depicted in ancient texts as a creature associated with clouds and rain, and it can also denote a type of mythological winged snake. In modern usage, it is less common but appears in classical literature and historical contexts, particularly in reference to the flying reptiles described in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" and other early Chinese mythological works. Its compound structure combines the radical for "insect" or "reptile" with a phonetic component, reflecting its semantic connection to legendary beasts.
