U+8331 "茱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
茱
U+8331 "茱" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to the dogwood tree, specifically the genus Cornus, and is historically notable for its fruit and medicinal uses. In classical literature and poetry, it often appears in the term "茱萸" (zhūyú), which denotes the cornelian cherry or other dogwood species, and is traditionally associated with the Double Ninth Festival, where people would wear its leaves or branches to ward off evil spirits and misfortune. This character is composed of the "艹" (grass radical) and the phonetic component "朱" (zhū), reflecting both its botanical nature and its pronunciation in Mandarin Chinese.
