U+83AD "莭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
莭
U+83AD "莭" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character used primarily in ancient or classical texts, where it represents a variant form of the more common character "節" (jié), meaning "festival," "section," "season," or "moral integrity." This character is composed of the "grass" radical (艹) on top and a phonetic component below, and though it is less frequently used in modern Simplified Chinese, it appears in historical literature, calligraphy, and some traditional names or place names. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that digital systems can correctly display and preserve this traditional orthographic variant.
