U+828D "芍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

芍

U+828D "芍" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the herbaceous peony, specifically the species Paeonia lactiflora, and is a key component in the compound word "芍藥" (sháo yào), which denotes the ornamental and medicinal plant known for its large, fragrant flowers and use in traditional Chinese medicine as a blood tonic and pain reliever. This character belongs to the Kangxi radical 140 (艹, meaning grass or plant) and consists of 7 strokes, with its historical usage traced back to classical Chinese texts such as the "Shijing" (Classic of Poetry) where it symbolizes love and parting. In modern contexts, "芍" is commonly encountered in botanical and herbal contexts, as well as in Chinese art and literature where the peony holds cultural significance, though the character itself is less frequently used independently outside of the compound term.
