U+8401 "萁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# Unicode Character
Unicode Version 17.0
萁
U+8401 "萁" CJK Unified Ideograph-# is a Chinese character (hanzi) that represents the name of a type of plant, specifically a kind of bean or pulse, such as the soybean plant, though it is also associated with the straw or stalk of beans. In classical literature, it appears in the famous Seven Step Poem by Cao Zhi, where it symbolizes the beanstalk burning to cook the beans, serving as a metaphor for fraternal conflict. In modern Chinese, it is less commonly used in daily language but remains present in historical texts and compounds like "豆萁" (dòuqí), meaning beanstalk.
