U+87DD "蟝" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蟝

U+87DD "蟝" CJK Unified Ideograph is a traditional Chinese character that refers to a type of insect, specifically a large ant or, in some contexts, a mythical giant ant from ancient texts. This rare glyph combines the radical for insect or worm on the left side with a phonetic component on the right, contributing to its classification within the vast CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified script. While not commonly used in modern writing, it appears in classical Chinese literature and specialized dictionaries, preserving a link to historical entomological terms and the rich typographic history of East Asian languages.
