U+87D8 "蟘" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare Chinese character that historically referred to a type of insect or pest, specifically mentioned in ancient texts as a grain-eating insect or a locust-like creature that damages crops. This character, composed of the radical for insect or worm on the left and a phonetic component on the right, is not commonly used in modern Chinese or Japanese writing but appears in classical literature and historical lexicons.
