U+8328 "茨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
茨
U+8328 "茨" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) predominantly used in East Asian languages, including Japanese and Korean, where it generally represents the concept of a thorny plant or briar. In Chinese, it is most commonly encountered in the word "茨菰" (cígū), which refers to the edible arrowhead plant, a type of aquatic vegetable. The character itself is composed of a grass radical atop phonetic and structural components, and it can also carry meanings related to a thatched roof or a thorn-covered mound in classical contexts. In Japanese, it is notably used in the name "茨城" (Ibaraki), a prefecture known for its agricultural landscape, and in the word "茨" (ibara), meaning thorn or bramble.
