U+87B4 "螴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
螴
U+87B4 "螴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that represents the concept of a dung beetle or a scarab, specifically a type of insect that rolls balls of dung. This ideograph belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified block and is composed of the radical for "insect" combined with phonetic or semantic components that evoke its crawling or digging behavior. In classical Chinese texts, it may appear in zoological or literary contexts describing the insect's activities, though it is not commonly encountered in modern daily usage, making it a specialized character for historical or scholarly references.
