U+87CF "蟏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+87CF "蟏" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a type of spider, specifically referring to a long-legged spider or a harvestman, often associated with the term "蟏蛸" (xiaoshao), which denotes a spider species known for weaving delicate webs. It belongs to the insect radical 虫 (chong, meaning "bug" or "creature") and has a total of 17 strokes, with its compound structure combining the radical with the phonetic component "肖" (xiao).
