Unicode Version 17.0
螻
U+87BB "螻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in traditional and simplified writing, primarily referring to a type of insect, specifically the mole cricket or a similar burrowing pest. This character, composed of the radical for "insect" (虫) and a phonetic component, appears in classical texts and modern agricultural contexts to denote creatures that damage crops by tunneling underground. In Japanese, it is read as "kezura" or "su" in certain compounds, while in Korean it is pronounced "ru" and used in literary or technical terms. The character embodies the rich linguistic history of East Asian script, where visual meaning and sound combine to convey specific biological and cultural references.
