U+883D "蠽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
蠽
U+883D "蠽" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character found in classical texts, primarily referring to a type of insect, specifically a cicada or a similar winged creature. Its composition combines the radical for insect or worm (虫) with a phonetic component, and it appears in historical dictionaries like the Kangxi Zidian where it is defined as a small cicada or locust. This character exemplifies the complexity of CJK (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) characters, which encode thousands of logograms for writing East Asian languages, and it is almost exclusively utilized in scholarly or literary contexts rather than modern everyday usage.
