U+8389 "莉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

莉

U+8389 "莉" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used in various East Asian languages, primarily representing the concept of jasmine, specifically the jasmine flower or plant, as seen in words like "茉莉" (mòlì, meaning jasmine). Its composition combines the radical for grass or plant (艹) with a phonetic component related to "利" (lì, meaning sharp or benefit), though its meaning is tied to botanical contexts rather than literal sharpness. This character appears frequently in names, poetry, and cultural references, especially in Chinese, Japanese, and Korean texts, where it carries a positive, aromatic connotation associated with beauty and fragrance. It is classified under the CJK Unified Ideographs block in the Unicode standard, encoded for digital representation across multiple scripts.
