U+83E2 "菢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
菢
U+83E2 "菢" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character primarily used in Classical Chinese and historical texts, where it generally means to hatch or brood over eggs, often associated with birds or by extension a nurturing or covering action. It is composed of the radical for grass or plants (艹) combined with a phonetic component, reflecting its status as a relatively rare character not commonly used in modern Mandarin. The character appears in some historical dictionaries and literary references, and its usage provides insight into the linguistic evolution of terms related to incubation and care in the Chinese writing system.
