Source: Noto Sans CJK Source: Browser Default

U+87CB "蟋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is part of the Unified Repertoire and Ordering (URO) block of standard Chinese characters and represents a specific logographic entity used in written Chinese. This character, composed of a semantic radical related to insects or worms and a phonetic component, typically denotes the sound or concept associated with the "cricket" insect, as seen in the compound word "蟋蟀" (xī shuài), meaning cricket. It is a relatively uncommon character in modern simplified Chinese text but appears in classical literature and compound terms, reflecting the rich morphological structure of CJK characters where meaning and pronunciation are integrated into a single graph.
