U+82D4 "苔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

苔

U+82D4 "苔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that represents the word for "moss" or "lichen" in both modern and classical East Asian languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It is composed of the radical for grass or plant (艹) above the phonetic component 台, which together convey the idea of a low-growing, soft plant often found in damp, shaded environments. In traditional Chinese poetry and culture, "苔" frequently appears as a symbol of neglected beauty, age, and quiet resilience, evoking images of moss-covered stones or ancient pathways. Its encoding as a single character in the Unicode standard ensures consistent digital representation across platforms for texts ranging from ancient literature to modern scientific botanical references.
