This character, used in both traditional Chinese and Japanese writing (where it is also pronounced "semi" in Japanese), often appears in classical poetry and literature to evoke themes of summer, transience, and rebirth due to the cicada's life cycle. It belongs to the radical "虫" (insect) and is composed of additional strokes that specify the creature.
