U+87C2 "蟂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+87C2 "蟂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare or archaic Chinese character composed of the insect radical 虫 (虫) and the phonetic component 臬, historically referring to a legendary aquatic creature or a type of water-dwelling insect, sometimes identified in ancient texts as a kind of man-eating reptile or mythical beast akin to a crocodile or dragon. Its usage is primarily confined to classical literature and specialized lexicons, and it does not appear in common modern Chinese vocabulary, representing a culturally obscure glyph within the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph repertoire.
