U+8834 "蠴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蠴
U+8834 "蠴" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese logogram that belongs to the traditional Kangxi radical set, specifically the insect radical (虫). It is considered a variant or archaic character, not commonly encountered in modern Chinese or Japanese texts, and its exact meaning is obscure, often associated with certain insects or wormlike creatures in classical references. The character is composed of multiple components, including the insect radical and other phonetic or semantic elements, but it lacks a well-documented modern usage or standard pronunciation, making it primarily of interest to paleographers and specialists in historical Chinese character forms.
