U+833B "茻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
茻
U+833B "茻" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a rare and archaic Chinese character composed of four instances of the radical "艹" (grass or plant) arranged in a square pattern, visually representing dense, overgrown vegetation. In classical Chinese texts, it is defined as meaning "a thick growth of grass" or "abundant weeds," and it is sometimes used as a variant of the character "莽" (mang), which conveys a sense of wildness or rough, untamed vegetation. Due to its complexity and extreme rarity in modern usage, this character is primarily of interest in paleography and the study of ancient Chinese script.
