U+8347 "荇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
荇
U+8347 "荇" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of aquatic plant, the water snowflake or Nymphoides, which is a floating herb often found in ponds and slow-moving waters. In classical Chinese literature, such as the Shijing or Book of Songs, the character appears in poems describing natural scenery, where "荇菜" (xìng cài) symbolizes purity and rustic beauty due to its graceful leaves and yellow flowers. The character is composed of the radical "艹" (grass or plant) and the phonetic component "行", and it remains in usage today in botanical contexts and cultural references to traditional Chinese gardens and poetry.
