Source: Browser Default
U+8782 "螂" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the mantis, specifically the praying mantis, and is commonly used in compound words such as "螳螂" (tángláng) meaning "mantis" in Mandarin. This ideograph belongs to the radical for insects or worms (虫) and has a phonetic component that hints at its pronunciation, which is "láng" in Mandarin Chinese. In traditional and simplified Chinese scripts alike, it appears in cultural references like the idiom "螳臂当车" (táng bì dǎng chē), illustrating the mantis using its arms to block a chariot as a metaphor for overestimating one's abilities.
