U+87C6 "蟆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蟆
U+87C6 "蟆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character traditionally classified under the radical for "insect" or "worm," reflecting its association with small creatures. It is most commonly known as a component in the word "蛤蟆" (háma), which refers to a toad or frog, and it also appears in classical literature and idioms, such as the phrase "癩蛤蟆想吃天鵝肉" (a toad lusting after a swan's flesh), symbolizing unrealistic desires. In modern usage, 蟆 retains this zoological meaning and is encountered in both written Chinese and Japanese contexts, where it similarly denotes toads or frogs.
