U+883C "蠼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 18.0
Source: Browser Default
U+883C "蠼" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rarely used Chinese character that historically refers to a type of mythical or legendary insect, often associated with the term "蠼螋" (qúsōu), which in modern standard Chinese denotes an earwig, a small insect with pincers at its rear. This character is composed of the radical for "insect" (虫) and a phonetic component that contributes to its pronunciation, and it appears in classical texts and literary works rather than in everyday modern usage. While it shares the same form and meaning in both Traditional and Simplified Chinese scripts, its practical application remains largely confined to specialized vocabulary or historical references.
