U+8354 "荔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
荔
U+8354 "荔" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a logogram used in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) writing systems, where it represents a specific type of plant, most famously the lychee fruit (Litchi chinensis). In Chinese, it is a key component of the word "荔枝" (lìzhī), referring to the tropical fruit known for its rough red skin and sweet, translucent flesh. The character itself is composed of the "grass" radical (艹) suggesting its botanical nature, combined with phonetic elements that hint at its pronunciation. In addition to its primary meaning, "荔" can also appear in place names and other contexts within East Asian texts, reflecting its long history in the region's agricultural and literary traditions.
