Source: Browser Default
U+8763 "蝣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a type of aquatic insect, specifically the mayfly, which is known for its extremely short adult lifespan. Composed of the radical for insect or worm on the left and a phonetic component on the right, this character appears in classical and modern Chinese texts, often symbolizing the transient or fleeting nature of life. In Japanese, it is also used with similar meaning, reflecting the shared cultural significance of the mayfly as a metaphor for ephemerality across East Asian literary traditions.
