U+83AE "莮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
莮
U+83AE "莮" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily functions as a noun in classical and modern Chinese, typically referring to a specific type of herbaceous plant or grass, though its usage is rare and often appears in historical texts or specialized botanical contexts. This ideograph is composed of a radical meaning "grass" or "plant" (艹, grass radical) combined with a phonetic component, and its Unicode designation places it within the vast set of CJK unified ideographs that encompass characters from Chinese, Japanese, and Korean scripts. Due to its uncommon nature, it is not frequently encountered in everyday writing but remains a valid entry in character dictionaries for comprehensive language study.
