U+8790 "螐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+8790 "螐" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and seldom used Chinese character that represents a type of insect, specifically a kind of black ant or a similar small creature, as indicated in classical lexicons and ancient texts. Its composition combines the radical for "insect" on the left side, often associated with bugs or crawlers, with a phonetic component on the right that suggests its pronunciation, though it is not commonly encountered in modern standard Chinese or Japanese usage. This character primarily appears in historical or highly specialized literary references, making it an obscure element within the larger CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) ideograph set, and it functions mainly as a curiosity for linguists, paleographers, or enthusiasts of rare sinographs.
