U+8801 "蠁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蠁
U+8801 "蠁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character traditionally used in classical texts, where it denotes a type of insect, often specifically interpreted as a maggot or a grub, and is also associated with the concept of decay or putrefaction. Composed of the radical for "insect" above a phonetic component, its usage in modern contexts is extremely limited, appearing primarily in historical or literary references rather than everyday language. This character is not part of common vocabulary and is mostly of interest to scholars studying ancient writings or those working with specialized character sets in digital encoding.
