蟟
U+87DF "蟟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that refers to a type of cicada, specifically the smaller species often associated with the sound of summer. In classical Chinese literature and natural history texts, it is used to denote a cicada known for its distinctive high pitched chirping, and it appears in compound terms related to these insects. The character is composed of the radical for insect or worm (虫) and a phonetic component, reflecting its semantic connection to the insect world. While not commonly used in modern everyday Chinese, it remains a part of the written language in specialized contexts such as entomology or ancient poetry.
