U+87C5 "蟅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蟅
U+87C5 "蟅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character used primarily in classical or technical contexts. It refers to a type of insect, specifically a kind of beetle or bug often associated with the "ground beetle" family, and may appear in ancient zoological texts or regional dialects as a descriptive term for a small, creeping creature. Its structure combines the "insect" radical (虫) with a phonetic component, illustrating the logographic nature of the Chinese writing system where meaning and sound are typically integrated. Due to its obscurity, it is not commonly used in modern Chinese and is mostly encountered in specialized lexicons or historical literature.
