Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+873A "蜺" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in classical and literary contexts, where it refers to a type of mythological rainbow serpent or dragon often associated with rainbows or auspicious omens in ancient Chinese lore. In some usages, it can also denote a caterpillar or insect larva, though its more common literary meaning ties it to celestial or serpentine imagery. The character itself consists of the radical for "insect" (虫) combined with the phonetic component "兒" (ér), reflecting its zoological and mythical origins. While not frequently used in modern Mandarin, it appears in classical texts and poetry, adding a layer of archaic or poetic depth to the written language.
