U+8362 "荢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
荢
U+8362 "荢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) primarily used in written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) contexts, though it is considered a rare or variant glyph. It falls under the Unicode block CJK Unified Ideographs and is composed of the "grass" radical (艹) combined with a phonetic component, suggesting it may relate to plants or vegetation. Historically, its precise meaning is obscure and often absent in modern dictionaries, with some records linking it to an alternative form of the character 芋 (yù), which denotes taro or a similar tuber plant. As a result, this character is seldom used in contemporary text and is mainly of interest to scholars studying historical or nonstandard scripts.
