U+8749 "蝉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (kanji in Japanese, hanja in Korean) that primarily means "cicada," a type of insect known for its distinctive loud buzzing call, which is often associated with summer in East Asian cultures. Its etymology combines the radical for "insect" with a phonetic component, and it appears frequently in classical poetry and literature as a symbol of transience and rebirth, due to the cicada's life cycle of emerging from the ground and shedding its exoskeleton. In modern usage, it can also refer to cicada-shaped ornaments or motifs in art and design.
