U+8826 "蠦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8826 "蠦" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that historically refers to a type of insect, specifically identified in classical texts as a kind of beetle or wood-boring insect, sometimes associated with the "蠦蜪" or similar terms for creatures that damage wood or plants. Its structure combines the radical for "insect" with a phonetic component, reflecting its etymological roots in ancient Chinese lexicons rather than modern everyday usage. This character is largely obsolete in contemporary Chinese and Japanese writing systems, appearing primarily in specialized dictionaries or scholarly studies of historical Chinese fauna. Due to its rarity, it is often unsupported in many standard fonts and may require specialized Unicode fonts for proper display.
