U+8804 "蠄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8804 "蠄" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a type of insect, specifically a non-stinging wasp or a large, venomous ant, often associated with the term "蠄蟧" in Cantonese, which refers to a spider. This character is composed of the radical 虫 (insect) on the left, indicating its relation to bugs or creepy-crawlies, and the phonetic component 禽 (qín), which provides a clue to its pronunciation in Mandarin. It is a rare character primarily used in traditional Chinese texts and regional dialects, and it does not appear frequently in modern standard writing or digital communications. As part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, it is encoded for use across Chinese, Japanese, and Korean language systems, though its practical usage is very limited outside specialized contexts.
