U+8706 "蜆" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a traditional Chinese character used in both Chinese and Japanese writing systems, primarily referring to a type of freshwater clam or bivalve mollusk commonly known as the Asian clam or Corbicula. In Chinese, it is often pronounced "xiǎn" and denotes the edible clam species found in rivers and lakes, while in Japanese, it is read as "shijimi" and is notably associated with a popular ingredient in miso soup and other dishes. This ideograph combines the radical for insect or shell (虫) with a phonetic component (見), reflecting its biological classification and historical usage in East Asian culinary and natural history contexts.
