蠅
U+8805 "蠅" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character meaning "fly" (the insect), specifically representing the common housefly or similar flying insects. It is composed of the radical for "insect" (虫) combined with phonetic and semantic elements that evoke the insect's buzzing or swarming behavior, and it appears in classical and modern Chinese texts, as well as in Japanese and Korean usage. This character is traditionally used in contexts ranging from literal descriptions of flies to metaphorical expressions of annoyance or pestilence, and it is distinct from other insect-related characters due to its specific reference to the flying, disease-carrying insect.
