cjk unified ideograph-273cb

Chinese spider-name character

29644/42720

This rare Chinese glyph is listed as a variant of 蟗 (qiū), the final character in the old spider name 次蟗 (cìqiū). The classic dictionary Erya glosses that name as a spider, and a Song-era commentary calls it another name for the animal.

Questions people ask

Why does 𧏋 show as a box on some devices?

Not every system ships a font for the CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B block. Where none is installed, the character shows as an empty box; adding a font such as Noto fixes it. The character itself is still correct and copies correctly.
