U+87F8 "蟸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+87F8 "蟸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in East Asian writing systems, specifically in traditional and classical contexts. It is a rare or obscure character, and its exact meaning is not widely documented in modern standard dictionaries, but it generally relates to insects or small creatures, as suggested by its radical "虫" (insect). In some historical texts, it may appear as a variant or alternative form of more common characters, such as "蠡" (lí), which can denote a wood-boring insect or a shell used for measuring, though "蟸" itself is seldom used in contemporary writing. Its usage is primarily of interest to scholars studying classical Chinese literature, calligraphy, or Unicode character encoding standards.
