U+8755 "蝕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8755 "蝕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "eclipse" or "to erode" and is commonly used in East Asian languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. In Chinese, it appears in terms like "日蝕" for solar eclipse and "月蝕" for lunar eclipse, reflecting celestial phenomena where one body obscures another. The character is composed of the radical for "insect" or "worm" (虫) on the left, suggesting a historical association with gradual eating away, and a phonetic component on the right that hints at its pronunciation, which is "shi" in Mandarin. Beyond astronomy, it can also convey concepts of corrosion, loss, or damage over time, making it a versatile ideograph in both literal and metaphorical contexts.
