U+836C "荬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
荬
U+836C "荬" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in simplified Chinese writing, where it functions as a component in the word "荬苈" (mǎi lì), referring to a type of plant, specifically the pepperweed or pennycress species often used in traditional contexts. This character combines the radical for grass or plant (艹) with a phonetic element, reflecting its botanical association. It is part of the CJK Unified Ideographs block, which encodes characters for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Vietnamese languages, though its usage is most common in modern Mandarin.
