莵

U+83B5 "莵" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that primarily functions as a variant form of the character 兔 (tù), which denotes a hare or rabbit. In classical and historical texts, 莵 can appear in compound words or proper names, often carrying the same meaning as its more common counterpart. Its structure combines the grass radical (艹) with a phonetic component, reflecting its origin as a pictophonetic character. While less frequently used in modern standard Chinese, it remains significant in literary contexts and traditional calligraphy.
