U+5C6E "屮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
屮
U+5C6E "屮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is an ancient Chinese character that originally depicted a sprouting plant with leaves, symbolizing new growth or the initial emergence of a shoot from the earth. In modern usage, it is primarily a historical or classical radical found in compound characters, often associated with the concept of vegetation or budding life. Its pronunciation in Mandarin is chè or cǎo, and it appears infrequently in contemporary texts, serving more as a building block in the composition of other ideographs than as a standalone word. The character holds significance in etymological studies of Chinese script due to its pictographic origins, reflecting the early stages of written language development.
