U+8349 "草" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
草
U+8349 "草" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) ideograph that primarily means "grass," "herb," or "plant." Its traditional form is identical to its simplified form, and it is composed of the radical for grass (艹) and the phonetic component "早," reflecting its classification as a phono-semantic compound character. In East Asian cultures, "草" appears in terms for specific plants such as "草药" (herbal medicine) and is also used metaphorically to denote something rough, cursive, or humble, as in "草书" (cursive script) or "草民" (common people).
