Unicode Version 17.0

荃

U+8343 "荃" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) used in both traditional and simplified writing, primarily meaning "fragrant herb" or "aromatic grass," often referring to a type of fine, sweet-smelling plant. In classical Chinese texts, it can also symbolize a person of high moral character or virtue, sometimes serving as a metaphor for a virtuous official or advisor. Additionally, "荃" appears in contexts related to the act of selecting or choosing, derived from its usage in ancient literature, such as the phrase "荃者所以在鱼" from Zhuangzi, where it metaphorically denotes a means to an end. The character is widely recognized in East Asian typography and engages the CJK Unified Ideographs block, representing a standard encoding for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean script.
