U+87FA "蟺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+87FA "蟺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that appears in the database of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) unified ideographs, specifically representing a type of insect or worm. Its traditional meaning often refers to a parasitic roundworm or a snake-like creature, and in classical Chinese texts, it can also denote a kind of small, stinging insect. This character is composed of the radical for "insect" (虫) on the left, which indicates its association with bugs and worms, and a phonetic component on the right that contributes to its pronunciation, which in Mandarin is read as "shàn" or "zhān" depending on context. Due to its obscure and specialized usage, it is rarely encountered in modern everyday writing but remains a part of the extended set of historical and technical characters in the Unicode standard.
