U+8824 "蠤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蠤
U+8824 "蠤" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that falls under the category of Han ideographs, often found in classical or historical texts rather than modern standard usage. This character is composed of the radical "虫" (insect or creature) combined with other phonetic or semantic components, and its traditional meaning relates to a type of insect, specifically a parasitic worm or maggot, as seen in ancient Chinese vocabulary. Its inclusion in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block ensures that it remains digitally encoded for scholarly, historical, or specialized linguistic applications, preserving its access for users working with classic literature or lexicography.
