U+8808 "蠈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蠈
U+8808 "蠈" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that belongs to the traditional Kangxi radical 142, representing the insect class. Its composition combines the radical for "insect" or "worm" (虫) with a phonetic component, and it historically referred to a type of insect that damages rice or other crops, often associated with pests like the rice borer or similar agricultural nuisances. This character appears primarily in classical Chinese texts and specialized dictionaries, with very limited modern usage, making it an obscure glyph within the vast CJK Unified Ideographs block.
