Firefly character

䗲 is the written Chinese name for a firefly. In Mandarin it sounds roughly like “leen” (the “ee” of “see”) with a falling tone; Pinyin spells it lìn.

Text symbol

What 䗲 means

It names the small insect that glows at night.

An earlier Chinese dictionary, 說文, does not list 䗲. 玉篇, another Chinese character dictionary completed in 543, gives it for 螢火蟲 (“firefly”). The later 廣韻, a dictionary that groups characters by rhyme, repeats that gloss.

Specialist and literary; it belongs in discussion of older Chinese writing or dictionary entries.
