U+834E "荎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

荎

U+834E "荎" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of herbaceous plant, specifically identified as a kind of medicinal herb or a plant in the lily family, though its exact botanical identification can vary. In classical and modern Chinese texts, it is often associated with botanical or compounding uses, and it is not among the most common characters in everyday writing. The character is composed of a grass radical (艹) on top, indicating its plant-related meaning, with a phonetic component below suggesting pronunciation as "chí" or similar readings. This character appears in specialized dictionaries and sometimes in herbal manuals, reflecting its niche but enduring place within the broader CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideograph repertoire.
