U+8316 "茖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

茖

U+8316 "茖" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) traditionally classified as a radical 140 (艹, grass) component combined with the phonetic element 各, giving it the semantic association with plants or vegetation. Its primary historical meaning refers to the "wild onion" or "Allium" species, often specifically denoting a type of scallion or leek native to East Asia. In classical Chinese texts and botanical contexts, 茖 appears in descriptions of wild herbs and is sometimes used as a variant or compound element in the names of certain plants. Though relatively rare in modern everyday usage, it remains a valid part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph set, encoded for cross-linguistic text processing and scholarly documentation.
