Unicode Version 17.0
蟯
U+87EF "蟯" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a complex Chinese character (hanzi) that historically refers to the parasitic roundworm known as the pinworm or threadworm, specifically Enterobius vermicularis, which is a common intestinal parasite in humans. In modern usage, it appears in medical and biological contexts, such as in the term "蟯蟲" (pinworm), and is also used in traditional Chinese medicine literature. The character belongs to the Kangxi Radical 142 (虫, meaning "insect" or "worm") and carries a phonetic component from "堯" (yáo). Its Simplified Chinese counterpart is similar in form, and it remains part of the standard CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set.
