U+8778 "蝸" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a snail, specifically the land snail or any mollusk of the gastropod family with a spiral shell. In traditional Chinese and Japanese usage, it appears in words like "蝸牛" (wōniú in Mandarin, or katatsumuri in Japanese), meaning snail, and can also metaphorically refer to something slow or spiral-shaped. This character is composed of the radical "虫" (insect or creature) on the left, and the phonetic component "咼" (guō) on the right, and it is used across various East Asian contexts, from zoology to poetic imagery.
