Unicode Version 17.0

茠

U+8320 "茠" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that traditionally means "to rest" or "to cease from labor," often appearing in classical texts with connotations of temporary respite or the act of stopping an activity. It is composed of the radical for grass or vegetation atop, combined with a phonetic component that suggests its pronunciation, and while it is less commonly used in modern Chinese, it retains significance in historical and literary contexts as a variant form related to the character "休" (xiū) meaning rest. This character also appears in Japanese as part of the Jinmeiyō kanji list, where it can be used in names or classical writings, reflecting its enduring presence across East Asian written traditions.
