Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8703 "蜃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character that primarily refers to a mythical creature, often described as a type of large clam or oyster that was believed to create mirages, particularly the phenomenon of "shèn qì lóu" or mirage towers, by exhaling vapor above the sea. In classical Chinese literature and folklore, it is associated with illusions and supernatural transformations, and the character itself combines the radical for "insect" or "reptile" (虫) with the phonetic component "辰" to convey its specific meaning.
