U+8822 "蠢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+8822 "蠢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily means "stupid" or "foolish" but originates from a visual concept of a large number of insects wriggling in spring, as its radical "虫" (insect) and phonetic component "春" (spring) suggest. In classical Chinese, it often described the sluggish, clumsy movement of insects awakening in warm weather, which later evolved into a derogatory term for mental dullness or ineptitude. This character is used in modern Mandarin in words like "愚蠢" (foolish) and "蠢動" (to wriggle or stir restlessly), and it carries a strong negative connotation when applied to human behavior.
