U+8815 "蠕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蠕
U+8815 "蠕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means to wriggle, squirm, or crawl slowly, often used to describe the movement of worms, insects, or other small creatures. It is composed of the radical for insect or worm and a phonetic component, and it appears in classical and modern texts to depict sinuous or creeping motion. In a more abstract sense, the character can also connote a slow, meandering or uneasy progression, and is notably used in the Chinese term for "worm" or "maggot" to emphasize this wriggling quality.
