U+87E8 "蟨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+87E8 "蟨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Han character primarily used in classical Chinese and Japanese texts, where it represents a mythical or rare creature often described as a type of insect or small animal, sometimes specifically identified as a "three-legged frog" or a toad that is said to bring good fortune in East Asian folklore. This symbol belongs to the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block and is encoded for logographic writing systems, though it is not commonly used in modern everyday language. Its structure combines the radical for "insect" or "worm" (虫) with a phonetic component, reflecting its traditional classification among small living beings in the natural world.
