U+8317 "茗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
茗
U+8317 "茗" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that refers specifically to a type of late-picked tea, often denoting tender tea leaves or a fine tea infusion. It is composed of the "grass" radical (艹) and the phonetic component "名," linking it both to plant life and to the concept of naming or reputation. In classical Chinese literature and modern usage, "茗" carries a slightly more literary or refined connotation than the general term for tea (茶), and it is frequently encountered in tea culture, poetry, and traditional tea ceremonies.
