Unicode Version 17.0
蟪
U+87EA "蟪" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character primarily referring to the "cicada" or specifically the "tibicen" species, often associated with the lesser or short-lived cicada in classical literature and poetry. It appears in compounds like "蟪蛄" (huìgū), which denotes a type of small, green cicada known for its brief, seasonal life cycle, and is metaphorically used to symbolize transience or insignificance in philosophical and poetic texts, such as those by Zhuangzi. This character belongs to the insect radical (虫) and is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block in Unicode, encoded for use in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems.
