U+839B "莛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
莛
U+839B "莛" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character representing a plant stem or stalk, specifically the thin, upright shoot of certain grasses or herbs, such as the flower stalk of a leek or garlic. It is composed of the grass radical (艹) on top and the phonetic component “廷” below, reflecting its botanical association. In classical Chinese literature, it appears in contexts describing slender plant parts or, by extension, something long and straight, like a ruler or measuring stick. This character is used in modern and historical texts, particularly in botanical or poetic descriptions, and is part of the CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) unified ideographs block, ensuring its representation across East Asian scripts.
