Source: Browser Default
U+87CA "蟊" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily denotes a type of insect pest, specifically the larvae of certain moths or beetles that damage crops, often referred to as a "borer" or "root-eating grub." In classical and agricultural contexts, it can also metaphorically extend to mean "vermin" or "a destroyer" who consumes resources from within, and it sometimes appears as a component in words related to injury or spoilage. The character is constructed with a radical representing insects or worms, and its phonetic element contributes to its pronunciation in Mandarin as "máo."
