Unicode Version 17.0
莋
U+838B "莋" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily refers to a type of plant or herb, specifically identified in classical texts as a kind of edible vegetable or medicinal herb, though its exact botanical identification and common usage in modern Chinese are rare. It is composed of the radical for grass or plant (艹) combined with a phonetic component, and while it appears in historical lexical works such as the Kangxi Dictionary and the Shuowen Jiezi, it is not a frequently used character in contemporary written Chinese and is largely encountered in specialized or ancient contexts.
