U+87E6 "蟦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蟦

U+87E6 "蟦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in classical and some modern contexts, primarily representing a type of beetle or a dung beetle, often associated with the scarab family. It is composed of the radical for insect (虫) and the phonetic component "賁" (ben), and its pronunciation in Mandarin is approximately "fén" or "bēn". This character appears in historical texts and dictionaries, such as the *Kangxi Dictionary*, where it denotes insects that roll dung, linking to broader cultural references in East Asian natural history. Though rare in everyday usage, it remains a part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified character set, preserved for scholarly and specialized linguistic purposes.
