U+83A3 "莣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character

U+83A3 "莣" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character that primarily functions as a variant or archaic form of the character "忘" (wàng), meaning to forget or to neglect. Used in classical or literary contexts, it is composed of the "grass" radical (艹) atop a phonetic component, and it sometimes appears in ancient texts, poetry, or personal names to convey a sense of oblivion or disregard. While rare in modern standard Chinese, it remains a recognized glyph in the Unicode standard for representing historical or specialized East Asian writing.
