U+8395 "莕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

Unicode Version 17.0

莕

U+8395 "莕" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily refers to a type of aquatic plant, specifically the water nymph or Nymphoides, often associated with the species Nymphoides peltatum, which is commonly known as the "floating heart." In classical Chinese literature and poetry, this character appears in texts such as the Shijing (Book of Songs), where it symbolizes natural beauty and tranquility, and it is occasionally used to describe plants that grow in water, aligning with its botanical meaning. The character is composed of the grass radical (艹) indicating its plant classification, and the phonetic component 杏 (xìng), which contributes to its pronunciation, and it is not as widely used in modern everyday language but retains cultural significance in historical and literary contexts.
