U+831F "茟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
茟
U+831F "茟" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character historically classified as a radical 140 grass radical component, with a primary pronunciation of "yù" in Mandarin and an alternative reading of "xùn". Found in classical texts such as the ancient Chinese dictionary Shuowen Jiezi, it originally referred to a specific type of herbaceous plant or weed, sometimes interpreted as a kind of medicinal herb with laxative properties. In modern usage, the character is extremely rare and largely obsolete, appearing primarily in specialized linguistic, historical, or botanical contexts rather than in everyday written Chinese.
