U+87AA "螪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
螪
U+87AA "螪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character composed of the insect radical (虫) on the left and the component 商 (shāng, meaning "commerce" or "discuss") on the right, though its exact meaning and traditional usage are obscure. It is not a common character in modern Chinese or Japanese writing, and it does not appear in standard dictionaries of frequent characters. Its primary occurrence is within historical or classical texts, possibly referring to a type of insect or a specific creature, but no widely accepted definition has been established. As such, it remains a largely unknown glyph within the vast CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideograph repertoire.
