U+2F8B "⾋" Kangxi Radical Grass Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
⾋
U+2F8B "⾋" Kangxi Radical Grass is one of the 214 Kangxi radicals, specifically representing the concept of grass or plants, and is derived from the ancient Chinese character for herbaceous vegetation. In modern Chinese, this radical is used as a component in many characters related to plants, flowers, or botanical terms, often simplified to the "艹" form (known as the grass radical) when placed at the top of a character. As a standalone representation, it preserves the historical script style found in the Kangxi Dictionary, serving as a key reference for understanding the structure and meaning of Chinese characters in both traditional and scholarly contexts.
