U+8819 "蠙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

蠙

U+8819 "蠙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that historically refers to a type of freshwater clam or mussel, often associated with the production of pearls. In classical texts, it appears in compound terms like "蠙珠" (bīn zhū), meaning pearl produced by such mollusks, and is related to the character "玭" (pín), which similarly denotes a pearl or gem. While largely obsolete in modern standard Chinese, it remains present in historical and literary contexts, and its composition includes the radical for insect or reptile (虫) combined with a phonetic component. This character is encoded in the CJK Unified Ideographs block of Unicode, representing a part of the Sinospheric writing system's extensive inventory of logographs.
