U+879E "螞" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents a type of insect, specifically referring to a leech or a horsefly in its traditional usage, though in modern Mandarin it is most commonly used in the term "螞蟻" meaning ant. This character is composed of the radical for insect or worm, 虫, on the left side, and the phonetic component 馬 (meaning horse) on the right, which influences its pronunciation as "mǎ" or "mà" depending on the context. It is used in both Simplified and Traditional Chinese writing systems, with its structure and meaning rooted in ancient Chinese script, and it appears in various compound words related to small crawling creatures.
