U+8802 "蠂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蠂
U+8802 "蠂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that is not commonly used in modern standard Mandarin or Japanese. It belongs to the Kangxi Radical 142, which is the "insect" or "worm" radical, indicating that its meaning is likely related to insects or creeping creatures. Historically, "蠂" is thought to be a variant or alternative form of other characters, possibly referring to a specific type of insect or a descriptive term, but its exact definition and usage remain ambiguous due to its extreme rarity in classical texts. This character is primarily of interest to scholars of historical linguistics, paleography, and those studying the comprehensive repertoire of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) ideographs.
