U+873C "蜼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+873C "蜼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese ideograph that represents a mythological or rare animal, often identified in classical texts as a type of monkey or a legendary beast with a long tail, such as the "wei" creature mentioned in ancient Chinese dictionaries like the Erya. Its radical is 虫 (insect or reptile), though its meaning extends beyond literal entomology to signify a creature associated with folklore, and it has homophonous connections to other characters used in historical names and place designations. This character is used primarily in traditional or literary contexts, including classical poetry and historical records, rather than in modern everyday Chinese writing.
