U+8359 "荙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
U+8359 "荙" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in traditional script, representing a plant name often identified with the burdock root or a similar type of edible herb. It is composed of the radical for grass or plant, found on top, and a phonetic component beneath, which together form a logogram that appears in classical texts and modern dictionaries. In practical usage, this character is relatively rare, but it retains significance in contexts such as herbal medicine and botanical terminology, particularly when referring to the daisy family or related species. Its Unicode inclusion ensures it remains accessible for digital representation across languages and platforms, supporting proper orthography in Chinese and Japanese character sets.
