Japanese kanji for an insect

3023/4154

𫋎 is a Japanese-made kanji read aloud as shū and recorded as an insect name. A 1920 Japanese book, Mojino Iroiro (“Various Characters”), gives that bare label; the 2014 Wasei Kanji no Jiten says the insect is unknown and reports no other recorded use. Treat it as a dictionary label, not a known species name.

Text symbol

What 𫋎 means

虫 marks the insect category; 首 cues the Japanese reading shū.

This is a common kanji construction: one part points to a meaning group, while another suggests its sound.

𫋎 belongs to a rare CJK extension block, so some fonts may not include it. A blank square or missing-character mark usually means the font cannot draw this glyph; the character itself has not changed.

Why does 𫋎 show as a box on some devices?

Because that device's fonts have no glyph for it. The character is still correct and still copies correctly — the box is a missing glyph, not a broken character.
