CJK Compatibility Ideograph 2F9B9

442/542

蜎 maps to 蜎, a Han character used for a mosquito larva and for bending. Its separate code point exists for round-trip conversion with Taiwan’s CNS 11643-1992 character-encoding standard; Unicode normalization can fold it back to 蜎.

Text symbol

What 蜎 means

It maps to 蜎, which can mean “mosquito larva” or “bend.” The Chinese poetry collection Book of Songs includes “East Mountain,” where the repeated form 蜎蜎 describes a caterpillar in a mulberry field. Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionary also records the larva sense and a verb meaning “bend.” These are meanings of 蜎; 蜎 is an extra encoded form for data exchange.
