U+8391 "莑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

U+8391 "莑" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in historical or classical texts, where it refers to a type of plant or herbaceous vegetation, often associated with lush growth or specific botanical contexts. This character is composed of the radical for grass (艹) combined with a phonetic component, and its usage is relatively rare in modern standard Chinese, appearing more frequently in literary or specialized lexicons rather than everyday communication. Its encoding in Unicode ensures that this traditional ideograph remains digitally accessible for scholars and linguists studying East Asian writing systems.
