U+87FE "蟾" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a toad, specifically the legendary three-legged toad often associated with the moon in East Asian mythology and folklore. In traditional Chinese culture, the character is famously linked to the fable of “Chang’e flying to the moon,” where a toad is said to inhabit the lunar palace, making “蟾” a poetic symbol for the moon itself. Beyond mythology, the character can also denote a type of toad in nature and appears in compound words such as “蟾蜍” (chánchú), meaning toad or frog. Its usage spans classical literature, modern language, and cultural idioms, reflecting its deep roots in historical symbolism.
