Unicode Version 18.0

Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+87A7 "" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and obscure Chinese character that combines the radical for "insect" or "creature" on the left side with a phonetic component on the right. Its precise meaning is not widely attested in standard modern Chinese dictionaries, but it is believed to refer to a type of marine creature, possibly a shrimp or a small crustacean, based on its composition and historical usage in classical texts. This character is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, which encodes characters from East Asian scripts for digital communication. Due to its rarity, "螧" is seldom used in contemporary writing and may require specialized fonts or Unicode support to display correctly.
