Source: Browser Default
U+87AC "螬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of insect, specifically the larvae of the scarab beetle, commonly known as a grub. In classical and modern Chinese texts, it appears in agricultural contexts, often describing pests that damage crops by feeding on roots, such as in the compound "蛴螬" (qícáo), which denotes the white, wormlike larvae of beetles. This character is composed of a "worm" radical (虫) on the left and a phonetic component on the right, reflecting its association with invertebrates and its pronunciation in Mandarin as "cáo".
