Insect-character variant

𮓼 is a rare written variant in the Chinese and Japanese character family for “insect.” Japanese and simplified Chinese generally use 虫; traditional Chinese uses 蟲. Japanese character records preserve 𮓼 as an extended form, with readings むし (mushi) and チュウ (chū).

What 𮓼 means

A Ming-era animal-name glossary records it. 《禽虫述》 is a list of animal names; one line reads “𮓼寓屋壁者曰守宫,” meaning a wall-dwelling 𮓼 is called 守宫, a Chinese name for a gecko.
