U+87BC "螼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+87BC "螼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to a type of earthworm or rainworm, specifically the species known in some contexts as the "Anguillula" or a similar worm-like creature found in damp soil. In classical Chinese texts, it is often used in the compound term "螼蚓" (qǐn yǐn), denoting an earthworm, and its radical components reflect its association with insects and burrowing creatures. This character is encoded in the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) Unified Ideographs block and is considered rare in modern usage, appearing mainly in specialized or historical linguistic references.
