Unicode Version 17.0

蟙

U+87D9 "蟙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character that primarily refers to a type of bat, specifically used in classical Chinese texts and traditional nomenclature to denote the flying mammal. This character is composed of the radical for insect or creature (虫) combined with a phonetic component, and it appears in historical dictionaries and literary works as a less common variant or synonym for other bat-related characters. While not frequently used in modern everyday Chinese, it remains a part of the broader CJK unified ideograph set, preserving its lexical and cultural significance in sinological studies and ancient documentation.
