U+8828 "蠨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蠨
U+8828 "蠨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and complex Chinese character that typically refers to a type of spider, specifically the long-legged house spider or a similar arachnid, often associated with the term "蠨蛸" which describes a spider's web or the spider itself in classical literature. This character falls under the Kangxi radical 142 (虫, meaning insect or creature) and is composed of 22 strokes, making it an obscure glyph seldom used in modern Chinese or Japanese writing, though it appears in historical texts and dictionaries as a specialized zoological term.
