Unicode Version 17.0

U+82CC "苌" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used primarily in modern and classical Chinese writing. It represents a surname, Cháng, and can also function as a component in certain compound terms, though it is relatively uncommon in everyday usage. Historically, the character has connections to the name of a legendary figure from ancient Chinese mythology, such as Chang Hong, a loyal minister from the Zhou Dynasty known for his tragic story. In terms of structure, "苌" is composed of the grass radical (艹) indicating its botanical or plant-related origin, combined with the phonetic component "长" (cháng), which suggests its pronunciation and meaning related to long or enduring characteristics. Overall, this ideograph carries cultural and historical weight within the context of Chinese language and literature, despite its limited frequency in contemporary texts.
