U+8806 "蠆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蠆
U+8806 "蠆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that represents a venomous scorpion or a similar stinging insect, often used in classical texts to denote a creature associated with poison and danger. In modern usage, it appears primarily in historical or literary contexts, such as in the compound word "蜂蠆" (bee and scorpion), symbolizing threats or harmful influences. Its structure combines the radical for "insect" (虫) with a phonetic component, reflecting its origin in ancient Chinese script where it was employed to describe both literal pests and metaphorical evils or petty treacheries.
