Source: Browser Default
U+8709 "蜉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily known as the first component in the compound word "蜉蝣" (fúyóu), which refers to the mayfly, an insect with a very short adult lifespan. In classical Chinese literature, this term is often used as a poignant metaphor for the fleeting and ephemeral nature of life. The character itself belongs to the "insect" radical and specifically denotes a type of insect, embodying the classic conceptual association between brevity and existence found in philosophical texts such as Zhuangzi.
