U+87D6 "蟖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+87D6 "蟖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that falls under the category of ideographs traditionally associated with insects or small creatures, as indicated by its radical "虫" (insect). While not commonly encountered in modern standard Chinese, this character historically appears in classical texts and may refer to a type of moth or insect larva, often specifically linking to the silkworm or its relatives. Its usage is largely confined to specialized literary or historical contexts, and it does not have a prominent role in contemporary writing systems, making it a niche element within the vast Unicode CJK repertoire.
