U+6851 "桑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
桑
U+6851 "桑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the mulberry tree, an important plant in East Asian culture, most notably because its leaves are the primary food source for silkworms, making it central to the historical silk industry. This logograph is composed of the "wood" radical on top and a phonetic or semantic component underneath, and it appears in various compound words such as "桑葉" (mulberry leaf) and in proper names. Beyond its agricultural significance, the character also carries symbolic meanings related to diligence, nurture, and the origins of sericulture, which has been a cornerstone of Chinese civilization for thousands of years.
