U+881C "蠜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蠜
U+881C "蠜" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character classified under the insect radical 虫, traditionally read in Mandarin as "fán." Its primary definition refers to a type of insect, specifically mentioned in classical texts as a kind of locust or grasshopper, often associated with the sound of fluttering wings. The character also appears in historical works, like the Erya, an ancient Chinese dictionary, and in poetic contexts to symbolize swarming insects. While it has minimal modern usage, it remains a component of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs repertoire, preserving a linguistic link to archaic descriptions of the natural world.
