U+8311 "茑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
茑
U+8311 "茑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of climbing plant, specifically a vine or creeper, often associated with the mistletoe or similar parasitic plants in traditional contexts. In modern Chinese, it is commonly used in the word "茑萝" (niǎo luó), which describes a delicate, flowering vine known as cypress vine or cardinal climber. This character combines the radical for grass (艹) to indicate its plant nature with a phonetic component, and it appears in classical literature and botanical references, symbolizing entanglement or dependence due to the plant's growth habit.
